I think "1988 Metallica" is my favorite, 1:04.

Chops and humor don't go together often.

From the first video I'm probably the bored guy on bass but the serious practice guy on flute. I bought a flute last year and have been studiously learning to play it. I learned bass by listening to other bassists on recordings, but you can't really fake it on flute like that.

Can you play it standing on one leg and do manly things with your other hand?

Not yet! Truthfully Ian Anderson's flute technique is fairly idiosyncratic and impenetrable.

One of his tricks was to sing notes in parallel to playing them. He was inspired to do so by Roland Kirk. My girlfriend really doesn't like this sound, but occasionally I do it!

I think "Happy Guy" in the first one is about my speed!

My cats are social media stars. I upload videos of trains to Instagram. Does that count?

Is this weird train enthusiast thing now contagious or what?
