Some time around 1991, Ian did a show for various USA radio stations affiliated with MJI Broadcasting, where he was a guest DJ. In New York, the station was WXRK (K-Rock).

Gary Wright - Dream Weaver Talk about a song that was played to death in Toronto. Yikes! What can you say about Ian Anderson, the man has good taste in my music. Keep Rush away.  Please! |

I find the Big Country listing interesting, which is an 80s favorite of mine as well. But more importantly, Jeff, .... Nonfatman? I've been away for a few weeks. Have you deflated or is this just some positive reinforcement to a New Year's resolution? |

Unfortunately, Mike it's the latter. A resolution and change in mindset rather than an actual accomplishment at this point, plus a subtle joke. (Go to the Fatman's Going on a Diet thread, where I actually quote something you said a long time ago, on the old board!)

Blue and I still joke about that, and it was her in fact who delayed my resolution's instigation by a week, having sent me a care package loaded with goodies on the New Year. Having now eaten that evidence, I am ready to join you. I lost 25 lbs over the summer but did well to put half of it back on. I've decided it must be a lifestyle change - difficult here in the south where sugar, fried, and fat seems to infiltrate any and everything worth eating. Oh well. Good luck my friend. See you at the weigh in come Jan 1, 2011. |

See you at the weigh in come Jan 1, 2011. Hi, Mike, I guess I remembered that because it was just very funny....eating season, as if it were a sport or something! I've always struggled with this problem, but in my twenties and thirties I was able to trim down rather easily. My forties have been a different story, particularly these last five or six years with two little kids running around, which means lots of birthday parties, family gatherings, snacks in the house and much less time to exercise. Anyway, I wish you good luck too. I never realized until lately the extent to which it is a serious health hazard as opposed to just a concern about appearance. I guess I shouldn't be asking this, but what did Blue's care package contain? I remember how she was always giving those mouthwatering recipes on the other board, and I'm getting a little hungry just thinking of it...... Jeff |

Jeff Well, I guess eating is practically a sport during the Last three months or so of the year, which would officially constitute the Eating Season. This is especially true in my part of the world where any social event, family or otherwise, revolves around food. We simply look for an excuse to eat here. I have a few years on you so I share your plight. Back in my farming days it was easy to stay fit; now I have to sweat on purpose six months out of the year if I wish to maintain and I'd rather not be bothered. So it's the see-saw, the weight and balance - up in winter, down in summer. Fortunately for me the heart doctor's tredmill test revealed I have the heart of a thirty-something. All that physical labor in my youth has paid dividends I suppose, but you're right, weight is not a good thing to carry into middle age and beyond. Having said that, there is the care package. Copious amounts of cookies, Blue's specialties. Not just a teaser mind you, but a large variety box of homebaked goodies. As you might guess she is quite the hand in the kitchen. I'd give this batch five stars. |

Mike, I've experienced the same kind of yo-yo-ing, and I know exactly what you are saying about family and social events. That's especially true with the Jewish holidays. As the joke goes, Jewish holidays often come down to this theme: "They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat!" I remember Blue's comfort food recipes well. I think she should start her own food/recipe thread in our off-topic department. Blue, are you out there? There's a bunch of hungry Tull fans here!  Jeff |

"Sure, I'll bring the fried chicken you bring the desert." My life has been a yo yo. It's nothing for me to see a twenty pound shift over the course of a year. |

www.express.co.uk/posts/view/118770/Ian-Anderson-My-six-best-albumsIan Anderson : MY SIX BEST ALBUMS Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band: The Spotlight Kid (Reprise) This shows the more accessible side of Captain Beefheart following pressure from his record company to produce something more commercial after his previous album , which didn’t sell well. Seth Lakeman: Poor Man’s Heaven (Relentless) One of the best artistes on the contemporary Brit folk scene. In one sense his music is familiar to me. Lyrically it’s very traditional – it’s all about ships and the sea and the south-west of England – but musically it’s quite eclectic . A name to watch. Frank Zappa: Over-Nite Sensation (DiscReet) An album of songs and good tunes. It’s pretty consistent all the way through and didn’t fall into the mire, as some of his material did, of being dominated by repetitive guitar solos. A unique artiste whom I suspect used humour to disguise the fact that he didn’t find it easy to express his emotions. JB Lenoir: Alabama Blues (Complete Blues) A great album of folk-blues from one of the very few black American blues singers who dared to touch upon the harsh Apartheid-like conditions that existed in the southern states of America in the Sixties. Tragically he died at just 38. However, he was one of my biggest black musical influences. Ludwig von Beethoven: The Ninth Symphony (featuring the London Symphony Orchestra) (LSO Live) For me this is the crowning glory of all classical music, embodying as it does great rhythmic work, orchestration and vocals. If you’ve yet to be converted to classical music this will do the trick. Andy Irvine and Davy Spillane: East Wind (Tara) Two seminal Irish folk musicians from the Seventies and Eighties who were variously involved with the same clique of musicians who were the precursors of Riverdance and the explosion of Irish music across the world. A very eclectic, cleverly arranged blending of Irish and Balkan folk music.

Thank you for posting that, Tootull, and along the same lines I recently dug out a 1995 Q Magazine article entitled 'Ian Anderson's Record Collection" in which he lists the following as his favorites, and then discusses each one:
Muddy Waters -- The Hoochie Coochie Man
Robert Johnson -- The Complete Recordings
Sonny Boy Wilson -- The Best Blues
Mose Allison -- The Best Of
J.B. Lenoir -- Alabama Blues
Roy Harper -- Come Out Fighting Genghis Smith
Captain Beefheart -- Safe as Milk
The Ramones -- All the Stuff and More, Vol. 1
The Stranglers -- Greatest Hits
