RIP Glenn Cornick

Sad to learn this morning of the passing of Glenn Cornick (aged 67) who having played with Ian Anderson in the John Evan Band, went on to play a significant part in the formation of Jethro Tull. He then played on the first three Tull albums before departing in 1970 to form Wild Turkey.

To me, the appearance of Glenn with his long dark hair held in place by a headband, was as much a feature of early Jethro Tull as the histrionics and tramp-like garb of Anderson and I saw them live more during those years than any other.








RIP Glenn.

Listen here to him kicking off the Jethro Tull single 'Living in the Past'
