The Who could've come to replacing Moon. His stick-work with Tull ws always
original and quite impressive (and he was especially good at the odd time
signatures).

Heath -- 

        Never thought of him!!  He is excellent, though!!  I don't know 
if he would have been the "closest" replacement for Moonie, but now that 
you mention it, he would have been a much more appropriate choice.  His 
drumming is very deliberate, and very definite.  Actually, I think he is 
a tighter drummer in terms of tempo than Moon was -- Moon had that 
"sloppy" style, full of character.  I think that Barlow actually fits 
right in between Moon and Simon Phillips in terms of style.  His fills 
are really interesting, but not "sterile", as someone posted earlier 
about Phillips playing.  Well, time to go.
