Just an idea!!!

[Rick and Roll]

An easy one, a medium, and a hard one.

1) There's a fusion powerhouse from Buffalo that I never see mentioned here, but they're excellent. The band is named after percussion (with a tweak of the spelling). Who are they?

2) On a Tull song, Ian Anderson messes up his acoustic intro, utters and expletive and starts over. Name the song. Bonus - name another song Ian introduces by counting (there are a few).

3) In ten steps, make a link from David Byrne to the band UFO. Two hints:

a) The link involves records actually played on.
b) Link 5 is Jethro Tull.

More hints available if needed.
