Another sad tale, hopefully Ian can make plans and peace with the world

uberwaltz,
I don't understand the title of your thread. He has a limited amount of time to be alive as we all do. He's living his life as it comes. What makes you think that he has to make peace with the world?

"Don’t we ALL have to make peace with the world before we depart??
I know I certainly do."

He may have already done that if it needed to be done. I don’t think he is at war with the world. I just thought that the title of your thread was very maudlin and presumptive.

Yes...Let there be Peace.
I normally really enjoy your posts. I don't mean to make a big fuss about this one. Sorry for that.

I had the opportunity to see Jethro Tull back in the 80's twice, and just a year ago I saw Martin Barre's band at the Celebrity Theatre here in Phoenix. 
I have loved that band for so long, and Martin is certainly near the top of my list of most loved and admired musicians. For me, Jethro Tull's music has passed the test of time. Stand Up sounds fresh, beautiful and brilliant every time I put it on.   

limomangus,
One correction- he doesn't have cancer.
