One funny little thing to add...I made it onto Brian May's Instagram feed last weekend! He had an online launch party for the King's Daughters, they were all there and having a good time. Brian asked everyone to post a picture of themselves in a party hat and hashtag it...so I did. He ended up scrolling through the pictures on one of his IG posts, and my picture was one that came up. He also read off one of my questions and had the girls answer it. So I was all hyped up....I had a distant connection with Brian, woo hoo! ; )
Sorry about the previous blank post. I was trying to quote MHZ and messed it up.
Trying again...…….
So, I saw the picture of people in funny hats on Brian's IG. Do you mean that one of those people is you???? I'll bet you are not telling which one are you. : ) I think it's cute how excited you are.
Yes Katydid, one of those weird people with hats was me! And yes....I’m not telling which one, lol! I have had Brian like a few of my comments on his IG feed, and it is really exciting. Like just for one brief moment I had his attention...that’s as much as I can hope for!
I used to be in Canada quite a lot, all through my childhood we always went for several weeks every year, a week at Christmas and then a few in the summer. Mostly we were in Toronto to visit my grandparents, but also in Cambridge where one of my aunts lived. Most of my cousins go to cabins in the north in the summer to fish, and we used to go with them at times. It is beautiful country! I have been to Niagara Falls a few times and it’s beautiful too. From where we were, we mostly went through Windsor and Saginaw and those areas though. I don’t go as often now that my grandparents are gone and my cousins are grown and more spread out. I went up last summer for a get together and it rained the whole time, which was a bummer!

Oh...and thank you Rainbow for the link on Breakthru. I really hope they can have it, but I guess with the restrictions on travel people like Phoebe won’t be able to fly here unless those are lifted. I think meeting/seeing Peter Freestone is really the main reason I would want to attend. I’m not the type to party with people or dress up like the band or anything!

I mentioned being in a band in one of Thor´s threads. The band is attached to a music school, the members attend. Almost all of them are in their 30s and 40s and started learning their Instruments a few years ago, so relativeley late in their lives. We have been playingrock cover songs yet. When I joined the were playing those standard rock songs for music lessons, mostly "played dead" on Radio. Teh set has been getting more interesting since, with songs from Metallica, Nirvana, Joan Jett, AC/DC, Twisted Sister, for example. The band rehearses, due to our coaches time constraints, every two weeks, so it is all veryy low Level, with one gig at the school´s summer party, where dozens ofsStudent from every level perform. Most members have commitments like work and Family, so the band is not always complete during rehearsals. That low level has been fine for me, I am not that energetic and self-confident for regular gigs. I have looked for other bands, but I could not join, as there are more experienced and self-confident hobby-singers out there.
I find "What´s Up, Doc?" ok. I watched it because the director was part of the New Hollywood movement.

Our understanding of the pandemic and "Patient Zero" will probably Change. According to a recent report, a sample from a Frenchmen who died late December 2019 had been tested CV-positive. And in Italy they are researching an unusual spike of flu and pneumonia cases from October to December. The epidemic might have started earlier. I heard speculations About the vaper deaths in the US...
@Chevyman
I did not know you are unhealthy. I wish you good luck with your treatment and complete recovery. Get well soon!

Thanks for the info on Freddie´s favourite movies. I did not watch neither "Imitation of Life" nor "The Woman". The former was directed by Douglas Sirk, one of the many talents who fled Germany after Hitler came to power. I have a few Sirk movies on my list. I watched "Metropolis" years ago, there is a lot of literature about it- it drew influences from contemporary art and literature. Some critics considered it a mirror of German society´s fears and conflicts.

Steven, I remember you from Thor's threads but there was so much information there from so many people that I had forgotten about your band. Thanks for sharing again! I'm sure you've shared your instrument too, but I don't remember that either. Care to share again?
Rainbow, I did watch "The Women" from Netflix after I learned it was one of Freddie's favorite movies. It's definitely got a lot of sharp, fast paced dialogue. I can see where he would have found it funny.
MHZ. I didn't think you'd share which hat wearer was you! Worth a try though. : ) I've mentioned before that I only use IG to follow Brian, Roger and Rudi, so I'm not at all familiar with how it works. How do you know Brian liked your comments?
I looked at the link for Breakthru a few months ago and while I'd like to hear Phoebe speak and maybe even Rudi, a lot of their activities don't appeal to me. I mean, trust me, you don't want me to do any karaoke. And I'm not the costume type. I'm afraid I'd be pretty much a dud at the party.

Steven, Thanks Right now my hand is big as a balloon I kept telling them it was burning so it's just one of those things.I so love the bands you have discussed especially ACDC they are old school.I love the album with dirty deeds.Big balls is another good one lol.I like me some nirvana too.I can relate to how the lead man feels in his music.True artist there.I too like small groups socially large groups don't do me well.
Steven...I have to wonder on the origin and timing of the virus too. There were lots of people near me in December and January saying they had a weird flu...it would be fever and muscle aches for a week or two, seem to resolve, and then come back again with a vengeance. They all said it was like nothing they’d had before, doctors were just saying it was this year’s flu strain. Who knows for sure? It seems odd now that we are faced with Covid 19. Until we have reliable antibody testing that is widespread, we may not ever know.
Katydid, if you make a comment on Instagram, there is a little heart next to your comment, and people can click the heart, which is a “like”. At the bottom of your IG page there is also a heart, if there is a dot on that, it means someone has liked your comment or post, or commented back. So if you just click on that bottom heart it will show in a list who liked each comment or post. I took a screen shot of mine where it says “Brian May liked your comment”....silly fan girl moment for me!

I wonder about that strain of virus being around too guys.Finally home today.All I got to say don't under estimate old folks I was waiting to be picked up from treatment where all people are picked up from and here comes the sweetest cutest little old lady being wheeled in as our eyes met we both smiled at each other.The guy wheeling her goes to lock the wheelchair and says to her is your son here yet do you want me to call him.She screams I fucking told you he doesn't have a phone three times.Her hair was sticking straight up in back it's all I could do to keep from laughing.She scared the hell out of me those poor nurses they don't get paid enough.
Let’s not forget Freddie’s other favorite movie “Some Like it Hot” if someone already mentioned it I missed it.
I definitely see in every way why he loved that movie

@Chevy, glad everything turned out ok.
Has anyone heard from Ammids? I haven’t gone back to read all the posts if she’s contacted anyone here. I remember her daughter is an ER nurse I believe.

My twin is also an actor. I was the baby in 'The Darling Buds of May'.
