    My first Rick show was King Arthur on Ice and the most recent was three weeks ago. I've seen him dozens of times and he never disappoints. Totally agree about the Rick Beato interview. What a star. How about a knighthood?

    Thank you Rick, Simon and team for another Christmas special. And finally this year, after retiring, I got round to renovating and converting our early 1900's upright piano. Partly inspired by Rick's playing and being my wife's family heirloom. Wished I could play it.

    And on that day was put in motion the means of our redemption. And the way was opened up as a highway to our God. And a child was born to us and to us a Son was given, For through the young and blessed Mary came the greatest gift of all.

    Brian est un opportuniste et un faux modeste. J’ai l’impression que Freddie lui faisait de l’ombre (inconsciemment). De plus Brian n’a aucun charisme. Ce qu’il fait maintenant avec Taylor est un cirque pour leurs permettre de se gonfler d’importances . Queen n’est plus.

    I remember being at Roller Town and back around 1977 and hearing "We Will Rock You" and hearing everyone whispering "KISS". then you hear We are the Champions right after and I thought that was Cher. It was a beautiful song. The guitar solos didn't sound like Guitar. they were more like violins. I have the opinion that the guitar is hard to play because for some reason it seems like no one can play a pretty tune in a guitar solo. They play notes but they don't seem to be playing the right notes. But in Queen it's like the guitar hits all the right notes. It's beautiful music as if it were played on a keyboard with no restrictions.
