Who are some of your all-time favorite groups? For Growing Bolder’s Bill Shafer, Jethro Tull, the band led by a flute playing, cod-piece wearing poet extraordinaire Ian Anderson, is near the top of his list.

Ian joins us via Skype from the UK as he and his band prepared to head out on tour to support his new album, “Home Erraticus,” which is Latin for “wandering man.”

He also discusses how he has survived and thrived over his 50 years in the music business by living a very un-rock and roll lifestyle.

It’s a fascinating conversation with one of the legends of rock history.
