that's a new one

So when I'm out playing my stuff, semi-regularly have people tell me I sound like Led Zeppelin. I find this fairly silly, but it's happened enough times now that I'm used to it. That didn't happen today, though.

Today, it was Jimi Hendrix. I don't understand that either.

(I said, "Well, no - but thanks!")

Wait 'till they tell you you sound like Focus. :-)

(Most folks in the US only know them from the novelty piece "Hocus Pocus" but they're actually a European rock band, with prominent flute.)

Listen to the opening of their "House of the King." Then the very Jethro Tull use of flute in the body of the piece.

Most people have really limited musical references to draw from. It's sad.

For the sake of complete inanity, I really hope they said that while you were playing flute. :)

HA! No. Bouzouki, the thing that is legitimately most like a guitar that I play.
