A Happy Tune for a Monday

As a former choir girl I love to hear ochestral arrangements to pop songs I love. I thought I'd share this lovely tune with all of you because I wanted to brighten your Monday morning. Can you guess who he is? And for bonus points, can you identify the song he's playing before the video ends?

1 I would if I could hear it. Something not working with my speakers. Not just this, but I realized after trying to listen to this, nothing was making noise. Sigh.

2 That HAS to be Ian Anderson. If it's not, it's someone imitating him. I don't know his face, but that's his voice -- and when he picked up the flute, I knew it had to be him.

3 Ogre beat me to it. Life's a Long Song by Jethro Tull, sung here by Ian Anderson it seems.

5 It seems the village Ogre has guessed his name correctly and our village Bobo got the song. Well done you two. You both win the smarty pants music award!

7 Didn't recognize Ian without the long hair, but there's no mistaking that voice.

8 It took me about two bars to figure out that it's "Life's A Long Song," a venerable Jethro Tull tune. Ian Anderson looks a bit older than the last time I saw him in person back in 1972... This version isn't all that different from the original, which also had orchestral backing. What a treat - thank you!
