I think he was Jethro Tulls guitar player...
Oh wait, that was Martin Barre..
...So, who was Martins luthier..?
... and did he hang out at Martins bar I wonder... and if Jethro Tull got back together, would that be sort of a reformation..?

On first glance I thought it read 'Martin Luthier".

Martin luthier built Martin guitars. He was a real popular guy, a ntural leaderand played through a blues jr, so they called him Martin "King jr' luthier.

C'mon!!! We studied about him and the Protestant movement in my 7th grade social studies class, not to mention the world religion part of my high school Humanities course.

Yup, thats why the "reformation" comment when Jethro Tull got back together... it was a stretch... I see that now[emoji848]

“ Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us. ”
— Martin Luther

The reasoning in the quote is troubling. If the music is beautiful, then it is calming. If it's not calming, it must not be beautiful.

We know better. Some music that is beautiful is not calming, and some calming music is not beautiful.

Well that, and, he seems to be exclusively addressing the beautiful music that the prophets (apparently an Asian act) make, thereby excluding all other beautiful music? I think that maybe he is over selling this band just a little, I mean, "one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us. ", ....really?
