FLUTE IN ROCK MUSIC


I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN A BACK SEAT WHEN COMMENTING ON THE USE OF FLUTE IN ROCK MUSIC OVER THE DECADES. MAINLY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A VERY SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTOR, OR SO I THOUGHT. I SUPPOSE WE CAN ALL REMEMBER FLUTE ON GOIN' UP THE COUNTRY BY CANNED HEAT, A BIT OF FLUTE ON SOME MAMAS AND PAPAS, IAN ANDERSON OF JETHRO TULL (WHO STOLE HIS STYLE FROM ROLAND KIRK),
MYSELF IN AUSTRALIA, SOME BITS IN TRAFFIC ETC AND I FIND NOW ANOTHER OLD FAVOURITE OF MINE, JEREMY STEIG, FROM NEW YORK, ( A JAZZ FLAUTIST PRIMARILY,) PLAYED WITH HENDRIX, JOHNNY WINTER, ETC ETC, AND THE BEASTY BOYS!
