now i’m here…

just watched the queen documentary - Days Of Our Lives pt1 - on bbc iplayer. so many memories and moments came flooding back with all the tunes.

they were my band in my most formative years. first record i ever bought was the killer queen single in ‘75…when i started work in ‘79, my first few weeks wages were spent at the record store (andy’s records if i remember rightly) snapping up the whole back catalogue so far…

i was learning to play drums but something happened the moment i heard the opening track of the queen live killers album…i knew i wanted to play guitar… and somehow i knew i was supposed to. I sold my drum kit, bought a guitar and started learning…30 years later i’m still learning…

there have been many bands that have caught my attention, stopped me in my tracks…but queen were my first and longest enduring musical obsession…

i saw them play live twice…i was lucky
