Ian Anderson is the singer/floutist/sometime acoustic guitarist.

By the way, the word is flutist or flautist, not "floutist". I don't think that floutist applies to Ian Anderson, but it might be applied to you, as in someone who likes to flout their knowledge in a non-self-deprecating way ....

By the way, the word is genius, not "genious." I don't think that it applies to me - while I appreciate your offering - and would bet that it probably doesn't to you, either. But I wouldn't say that you're a dummy by any means, either, as you self-deprecatingly offered. Rather, in the spirit of JT, perhaps "thick as a brick" applies...?
