David Palmer (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

David Palmer (born 1937) is a British arranger and keyboardist best known for his membership in the rock band Jethro Tull.

Palmer arranged string parts for Jethro Tull songs in the early 1970s before joining the band formally in 1976, mainly playing keyboards. He left the band in 1980 when frontman Ian Anderson took the group in an electronic direction.

In the 1980s he produced several albums of symphonic arrangements of 1970s rock bands performed by full orchestra. Bands so covered included Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Yes.

In 2004, Palmer announced that he had undergone a sex change operation and adopted the name Dee.
