Bummer. You have a lot of other impressive ones though. I actually never get photos when I meet people but I was lucky enough to have a friend that snapped a pic when I met him. One of my drum heroes for sure.The worst part is I was lucky enough to meet him too but don't have a single photo to prove it

yeah, I met most of my heroes - including Vinnie Paul - long before people had cameras on them all the time

I am a huge fan of the English Gentleman's Library vibe (Big Boy and Spongebob notwithstanding).

so, I can tell you have exquisite taste, becasue of the inclusion of the Big Boy piece. Brilliant.
that elevates the atmosphere to the extreme.
we had our last Big Boy place leave town 10 years ago, and I am at a deep loss. It was a staple of my youth for sure. I now have to drive almost an hour to Cincy for my Swiss Miss and Big Boy sandwiches....at least the Reds are also making that trip worth it this year!!!

I am a bit "hot and cold" on that album. A heretical view, I know.No Aqualung?

Wha...?! It was Clive Bunker's last album, and finest playing of all the albums he was on, IMO.

I'll have to get a photo, but I built a mylar mirror, kind of like this. So I could watch myself playing/dancing. I also did the place up with cheap LED lights that sync to music. I am currently working on paper mache masks. I also built a recoding/DJ desk.

Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers used to have the latest centerfold open on a music stand next to him when he was in the studio. Said it kept him focused as to why he got into the music game in the first place.Blow ups of 60s Playboy centerfolds?. That'll getchyer rudiments uptempo.
You can see one open in one of their documentaries.

Seriously like the different textures and woods on those dampening panels. A whole wall of those squares might be very eye-catching
A bit late to the party, I'm afraid but.... IMHO, as a lifelong Tull fan, it's their best album. I bought it on LP in the 70's as a young kid, & have bought it in various formats ever since! By FAR the best version is Steven Wilson's sympathetic remix.Clive Bunker's drumming is inspired, & I think Martin Barre's guitar was never bettered on subsequent albums.
Looking at it as a whole entity, there aren't any "filler" songs; it's Jethro Tull at their best, songwriting-wise. Each song segues into the next, & although Ian Anderson has never confirmed that it was a "concept" album like "Thick As A Brick" & "A Passion Play", it all sounds very much of a connected whole.
Personally, I've always been inspired by great drummers who fit their band's music perfectly; Barriemore Barlow was completely different to Clive Bunker in the next phase of Jethro Tull's evolution, but he was ideal for the direction they were taking at that time.
For me, this early-mid 70's period was absolutely prime "Never been a better period of great bands, songs, genres, etc., etc.,..."
Showing my age now....

Yes, if I come to some wall like that, it will be 12X12" square together but the damping factor might be too much, I wanted to be around 15%, I'm in with the carpet on the floor under the drum kit and the keys
Well that ol rascal..Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers used to have the latest centerfold open on a music stand next to him when he was in the studio. Said it kept him focused as to why he got into the music game in the first place.
