Really pleased that DM referred to his playing with Jethro Tull (seeing as the interviewer omitted this pertinent fact in his intro).

[@IndigoJo]

His remark about songs reminds me of what Richard Thompson said in one of those songwriters' circle shows, that he considered himself a guitarist within a song rather than an instrumentalist for the sake of it.

What an articulate, sensitive, intelligent musician. GREAT INTERVIEW !!! Thanks very much!!!!

Great. An interview with DM. I love seeing him play, hopefully at Cropredy again this year.

"... you took what you did seriously but you didn't take yourself seriously..." A wise and talented man, ol' Dave.

Spike, get yourself sorted out. This sort of hair style on one so old is rather embarrassing.
