I have to tell you a funny story Ruthanne.
When Queen were at the very height of their fame in 1975.. we had been invited round to a new member of our gang's home.. for tea..
She lived in a HUGE mansion.. we're talking real Royalty type mansion here.. and out back was tennis courts and swimming pool, and Aviary.. huge property.. It was summer, we were typical teens and early 20's for the time.. a couple of the group were hippies..
Our friends' parents , I'll call her Lydia for that was her name..
.. were already elderly having had her late in life....and they were extremely old fashioned, he was dressed like an old Army colonel..
When we arrived at the house, the father gave us a tour of the home.. and in every room there was a full size grand piano.. I mean even in the kitchen.. ...absolutely huge.. . In the drawing room there was a gigantic table, which was made of Oak, and could be turned into a snooker table..
Alongside the table was a self playing Pianola....
.. and the father was showing us this instrument, and we were acting interested, and one of the gang thought he'd be funny and ask ''do you have any Queen''... well the father looks a little confused but very politely said.. '' No I don't have any of the Queen I'm afraid, but I do have Swanee River'' ..and proceeded to press the button to play it...
..it was all we could do to keep from falling about in hysterical laughter...
