Way to go, Jak! You never cease to amaze me. The flute cam is really something else.

Thanks you two! The hardest part was finding out what time signature the tune is in. I believe it is 7/8, but I can easily be wrong. Can someone tell for sure?

I hope that I'll soon find my next tune to cover. In this case I wanted to play this ever since I heard it on the "Ian Anderson plays the orchestral Jethro Tull" DVD, but I always thought that I'd never get it without the accordion sounds.
As soon as I tried different things to arrange it in the easiest way possible it suddenly became a realistic tune to cover.

I'm glad that you like it. And I'm sure that I'll use the flute-cam whenever I make a new video with the flute. But I think that this video will be the only one where the flute-cam is featured throughout the whole video. It would be kind of boring to watch if I would use that all the time.

Hi Jak. You're correct that the very beginning is in an odd meter, but given the tempo I think it would be written as alternating measures of 4/4 & 3/4. Then it goes into a straight 4/4.

The song has a great feel to it.

Thanks Mark! I'm always having problems with such things. I am lucky that I am able to play this music without really knowing about such things. Haha. :-)

Yes I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great work Jak! I see that you did an "Entwhistle" with the camera lol! I was trying to mount a cam on the headstock of my Carvin for part of the taab vid but was too complicated. I need to get back to that.

Wow...amazing. Great stuff Jak!
