Finally got to see Audra McDonald sing live today!! 🎶🤩
Only 25+ years after I first heard her revelatory Carry Pipperidge on the cast album for the 1994 Broadway revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel 😍
I might have nearly burst into tears when she opened with "I Am What I Am" (La Cage aux Folles) & "Mister Snow" (Carousel) 😅
Annd anyway, this concert & Audra were everything that I wanted today 😌
These are bloody marvellous. Marci G DiMarco playing snippets from Queen songs on his custom Brian May replica guitar. Samples below. Many more on his YouTube channel.

I remember this coming out as a single 40 years ago. I bought it on 7-inch vinyl. The paper labels were stuck on the wrong sides. I fixed mine with a biro 🤦🏻♂️
I loved it then. I still love it now. I was in a minority of rabid Queen fans who did love it and the subsequent Hot Space album at the time. Most of the haters came around over the years.
