Freddie Mercury-Send In The Clowns

I've only shared the links that were posted 1st by Sikke as comments to a public post

By the way, Send In The Clowns would be a great tittle for a Queen track.
Especially for the Innuendo era.

There are five instrumental songs by Freddie, aren't it Gerry?

I can understand the point of view of Jim Hutton...he made happy Freddie. Closers friends of Freddie, like Mike Moran or Mack, always have good words for him. Even Roger Taylor said he was a good man.

About Mary Austin.

This track is genuine; and I am the collector.

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Hutton a wee while before he died, and I did indeed purchase the cassette from him.

Thanks for telling us the origins of the tape.
It´s great to see the respect you have when talking about Jim. He allways seemed like an honest man to me.
Now i have downloaded this tape and listened to it - it´s great and to know that this was pre - make up sex makes it even more special. :-)

It´s sad to see that you got screwd over this one - Again! Man, that realy sucks, because i´m having great pleasure hearing all these things that David leaked. But i´m not happy about the way these gems are getting into my hands.
Since the first time i saw "Send in the clowns" on a list somewhere i just counted the days untill i got to hear it. I wasn´t expecting for an instrumental, but it´s great.

Thangs again.

Jim may have been his lover - but Mary was his true soulmate

These covers are great, why the hell Freddie didn't record more of him playing classical music. Maybe one day we will hear Freddie's interpretation of Chopin which is reported as preserved on tape.
Anyway, apart from all the controversy around sharing the tape it really shows us another side of his talent and how much emotions meant to him.

Good grief man, if you were any more shallow you'd be a hole in the ground.

Indeed, Gerry makes it sound as if it were purely a physical relationship with no actual emotions involved. Very shallow wording indeed.

and in the final reckoning...it's clear that Freddie thought MUCH MUCH more of the relationship with Mary than that with Jim (or "the cock") as you so subtley put it....he left the house and contents to Mary...it's obvious that freddie clearly wasn't as shallow as you are

How quickly serious discussions descend...

nope i aint shallow dudes it is fact rather than fiction.
so why has the other 3 Queenies not spoken to mary austin in 22 years then?
Freddie was himself with jim and with mary he was hiding the real freddie.
sure he left her the lot, but they was a bitter dispute between austin and hutton
which was in the national newspapers.
In my opinion Freddie was very very happy in love with jim, and thank god he changed
his mind marrying mary that would have been a massive mistake.

What you have failed to grasp is that Mary was Freddie's life long companion, through his adult life. Regardless of the other failed relationships she was always there. They were almost inseparable, she very often toured with the band in Freddies party.

Regardless of his sexual orientation, Mary was the love of his life. He said as much "people come and go, but Mary is the one constant person in my life"

Yes Freddie's relationship with Jim lasted longer than the others he had, but he wasn't the be all and end all of Freddies life, had he been surley he would have been sitting in Garden Lodge instead of Mary.

[QUOTE] [b]gerry wrote:[/b]That would certainly have hacked mary off![/QUOTE] i don;t think so - Mary only ever wanted Freddie to be happy

[QUOTE] [b]gerry wrote:[/b]She was nasty throwing all of freddies friends out of garden lodge,
like peter straker, phobe, and many others, and then she got her own staff in![/QUOTE]it was her house. freddie gave it to her. those people had no rights - and they more than overstayed their welcome

Sure i understand what your saying, but jim was very angry the way he got treated.
i understand peter freestone wasnt to glad either![/QUOTE]

ok. I'll ask you one last time....you inherit a house from someone...how LONGGGGG would you humour and put up with the dead person's friends and their hangers-on being there? it's your house now, come on, be honest - almost everyone would "clear the decks" asap

the one thing to remember in all of this?
WE only have the word of jim, straker and co to go by.....NONE of us knows what actually happened or what went on....at least Mary has kept her dignity with regard to this episode....as opposed to freddie's money-grubbing so-called friends...selling their ass and soul (pun) to any tabloid shitsheet they can find...(ffs this story has been told so many times by whiney-assed ne're do wells who had a good run and bemoaned their "gravy train" unceremoniously derailing in late 1991. fuck em - all of em!!!

let's face some facts: doesn't matter how close these people thought they were to Freddie - there's one over-riding factor - they weren't that close - any of them...or he'd have left them the house. he didn't. end of.

I read somewhere a long time ago Freddie bought a few houses for his closest friends in the last year of his life. Is that inaccurate then?

^It`s true, Freddie did that. ( Jim Hutton `s house in Ireland and a small house for Joe in Chiswick) for example.
