I think the red flower Adam liked was a red lupine. Yes everything matches. And the best part! It grows in my zone. Now to find some, prob for next spring. Anything I plant new now would be fighting for its life! Thank you so much |

OT, but the best use of an election yard sign I've seen (and for those in other countries, the sign used to say HeWhoCannot amed):  |

In mid-March, I attended a memorial service for a 27 year old young man, the beloved grandson of friends, who tragically left us too soon. Garrett had been a drummer until 2012 in a metal band called Age of Evil with his younger brother, Jordan on lead guitar, and another set of brothers. Within this special community of musicians, friends and family gathered at the service, many wore “AOE” t- shirts as a tribute, including Grandpa. I was soon to learn that Garrett had been an avid QUEEN fan as everyone attending sat in silence with tears while his favorite Queen song played - “The Great Pretender.”
Fast forward to March 30th, 2016. Jordan Ziff, Garrett’s 24 year old brother, is invited to play guitar with the 80’s band, KING KOBRA at the SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL two days after QAL performs.
Call it fate, karma, serendipity or the spirit of love between brothers and music.
I truly hope Jordan has the opportunity to meet Brian May, Roger Taylor and Adam Lambert and tell them how important Queen had been to his older brother and family and what an extreme honor it is to be performing at the same festival.
Check out Jordan playing guitar and you'll hear part of a familiar song: Be sure to watch the entire video and I guess it's a requirement for all great guitarists to have long hair?

(Wish Talon or someone could tweet this to Brian May and thanks for letting me share this story)
On another note, I hope the younger brother got to see QAL performing in Sweden. I don't know if it's that easy to meet Brian and Roger, unless you know somebody that close the band and get back stage access. Thank you for correcting me - it was Freddie's cover of the song. As far as Jordan meeting Queen - Queen performs on Thursday, June 9th and Jordan performs with King Kobra on Saturday, June 11th. That's why it would be great if Brian, Roger or Adam could be contacted before the 9th. (Fingers crossed) |

Best live stream EVER EVER EVER on Facebook. So much fun - almost like being there. So happy! YES, but we needed just one more song! OK I know nothing about streams or streaming or FaceBook, but why was this one on FB so fantastic? Was it done on a phone? Or is he using a camera? Is he uploading it to FB in real time? Just wondering why we don't do this at every show? Do you just need data and a phone and a FB account? Hope this is the new trend. |
