  • And I always thought it was about me . . .

  • i just love this song. it has such a happy feel to it:) and what i imagine to be an feel of england that ian usually brings out best...

  • im glad he met jeffrey

  • Ian Anderson is playing the balalakia on this one...very cool.

  • @rc1965 balalaika, I meant : D

  • beautiful,autumnal

  • I love this song. I wish it was longer!

  • Jethro Tull sure made some amazing music.

  • Me too!  I always loved the last bit.

  • A tiny masterpiece......

  • An authentic jewel!

  • According to the cover notes on the album This Was, "A Song for Jeffery --he is one of us but doesn't really play anything--makes bombs and things." It was not till later that he joined the band as a musician, he is also credited with making the Claghorn.

  • Jeffrey is a right proper British and Yankee name.

  • one of my favorite "short" Tull songs.

  • Like a part of my body--for 40 years!

  • A real big band!!!

  • What I'd really like to know is who exactly (or inexactly) who "Jeffrey" was. This is one of several Tull songs with that name in the title.

  • mrfantastic, jeffrey is jeffrey hammond, a friend of ian anderson, and bassist of Jethro Tull for 4 years or so.

  • Thanks! That clears that up.

  • @Aqualung1989 Jeffery and Ian were schoolmates. Ian felt Jeffery was an underachiever. Ian would screw with him unmercifully.

  • Ian seems to say "Lee-ster", not "Les-ter". Any idea why? Always wondered..

  • Wouldn't read anything into it - just for fun & to be different I guess ... like for a while back in the 80's, people stopped saying "acid" & said "a-seed". Or "style" & "styleee". You could call it pretentious but who really cares!

  • My favourite band. listen to my wondrin´aloud version.
