Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull is an important rock 'n' roll band along my musical education. One of my mother's working colleague was influential in my discovery of this legendary group. His name was Sylvain, and he gave me the Stormwatch tour programme he bought during the 1979 Stormwatch Tour. He also gave me a picture he took of Ian Anderson standing on one feet and holding his flute on stage. The photo was taken in 1979, when I was only two years old.
Then on 08/21/2002, I had the chance to see them for myself at the Place des Arts with one of my friends. To this day, it is still the most memorable musical event I got to witness in my life.
Also on a personal note, in the Heavy Horses lyrics there is a mention of ''the Percheron vie'', a reference to the Perche province where my ancestors used to take care of percherons, a breed of draft horse that originated in western France. If I remember correctly, my great-grandfather still took care of horses here in America until the day he got kicked by one to the point of trauma.
