Friday the 13th TULL-O-WEEN 2017 Welcome back to Crystal Lake in a chilling re-imagining of the classic horror film Friday the 13th. Searching for his missing sister, Clay (Jared Padalecki) heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of the rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees. And that's not the only thing lying in wait under the brush.

Playing here on TULL-O-WEEN Night ROCKTOBER 31st NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD LINK George A. Romero United States, 1968 Shot outside of Pittsburgh at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is one of the great stories of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of flesh-eating ghouls newly arisen from their graves, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-sixties America (literally) tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in the lead role. After decades of poor-quality prints and video transfers, Night of the Living Dead can finally be seen for the immaculately crafted film that it is thanks to a new 4K restoration, scanned from the original camera negative and supervised by Romero himself. Stark, haunting, and more relevant than ever, Night of the Living Dead is back.

There's a competition on the official JT FB page.Ask Ian a question and it may be included (and answered) on the official 50th anniversary Tour programme. I hope it's a full answer as well and not a quip www.facebook.com/officialjethrotull/Give us some ideas here as well. Here's was some of our past Q&A's with Ian; July 2013February 2009

Not long after John Evan left the band (June 1980) he was asked to play keyboards with Paul Whitehouse (Smashie and Nicey - non UK guests please google) and this video was sent to me by Mr One White Duck of the recording. Thanks Duck

Thanks Duck Strange that one moment in time he's performing serious songs, some with an ecological theme, and the next he's backing a comedy sketch. However he always did have a flair for the comedy aspect - the ice cream seller's suit and other visual gags with a nod towards the Marx Brothers

It doesn't touch the lows Barlow plumbed...promoting the fart knocker artist. Thank God he was also involved with Robert Plant and Echo and the Bunnymen to even out his CV a little. ( I would put Amy Winehouse halfway between Echo and the fart artist).

Do you ever have one of those days when an Ian lyric just fits in? You wake up remembering what happened the day before. And then a line or some words jump in to fill that thought. Today. For me. It was a new day yesterday. But it's an old day now.

ultimateclassicrock.com/gibson-guitar-financial-problems/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=newsletter_4572276Gibson Brands, Inc. – makers of the iconic Gibson guitars played by Slash among many others – is “running out of time” to resolve serious debt issues that could shut it down, a finance expert said. The company, which has annual revenues of more than $1 billion, has to deal with upcoming repayments totaling $375 million, with a further $145 million due if the first amount is not serviced by July 23. Commentators noted the chances of refinancing in time looked “slim,” the Nashville Post reported. CFO Bill Lawrence recently left the company after less than a year in the position, and the options facing owner and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz looked “likely to sideline” him. A deal with equity firm GSO Capital Partners, which brought in an emergency $130 million loan last year, had left some holders of the $375 million bonds worried about the security of their investment and made worse by a “lack of clarity” from Gibson. Juszkiewicz had three realistic options, one expert said: He could renegotiate the bonds for new ones, which might turn out to be too expensive; he could hand over some of his own equity to cover the amounts; or he could commence bankruptcy proceedings. “This year is crucial and they are running out of time – rapidly,” said Kevin Cassidy of Moody’s Investors Service. “And if this ends in bankruptcy, [Juszkiewicz] will give up the entire company.” Gibson’s problems are thought to have arisen mainly through their electronics operations, which have seen a sales slump in recent years. The firm made a $16.6 million payment to bondholders last week after selling a warehouse for $6.4 million, while another building should raise $11 million when it is sold. A regular financial report is due by next week. “Some type of restructuring will be necessary,” Cassidy said. “The core business is a very stable business and a sustainable one. But you have a balance sheet problem and an operational problem.” The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. was founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson. It introduced the famous Les Paul guitar 50 years later.

The title of the video is Fires At Midnight by Ian Anderson.
I think there might have been a mistake and that's before you wonder why he's singing at the Admin corner of a large Hall.

Phew I got to the end - I was willing him to get through it before lights out. If I may clear up one bit; Ian Anderson sang about a golden toddy - hot whisky. This is a golden toddy (although in Scotland you wouldn't have all the faff of a lemon nor cinnamon) i64.images obliterated by tinypic/xaxhd3.jpg[/IMG] This is a golden Totty -a Scots/Irish name for potato and not what Ian wrote in the song. i63.images obliterated by tinypic/jqn8dj.jpg[/IMG]

I get those kinds of atmospheric mixes a lot on the way to work, when the song in the headphones blends magically with traffic, train sounds and the odd siren....that and the illusion that live audiences on CDs are actually applauding my balletic bike moves and close calls. God winks.

You have buses in Glasgow - luxury Down here in the wilds of Cornwall/Devon it's lucky if you see one at any time and the folks in Penzance are so cut off at the moment with the rail line kaput on some days that it must feel like a different country down there. At least we have a new M & S food store
