Every now and then I love to pay tribute to a favorite myLotter. In this case, it's a fellow with a terrific sense of humor, Jim Bo (@JimBo452020 ). He's from Scotland, so I guess I should say he has a terrific sense of humour. In his honor, here's a new top ten list: musicians from Scotland! Here's the first one on the list. #10: Ian Anderson The man who made playing the flute in rock and roll downright cool. And I do believe he was the first rocker to wear a codpiece. There's a lot more to Jethro Tull's frontman than those two facts and him standing on one foot when he plays flute. He's the primary songwriter for the legendary band (who, to my surprise, aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame....oy). Although he has COPD, which he attributes to all the fog/smoke machines that were popular in rock and roll in the 70s, he's still out there, making music.
