Innuendo arrived today. I can't help thinking about that interview with Brian talking about recording the Innuendo tracks and about how sick Freddie was by then- he had bronchial pneumonia, and Brian was apologizing for the high notes in The Show Must Go On, and Freddie stopped him and did the song, very beautifully, a sound that is quite miraculous for Freddie as he was then. Brian tells the story much better than I can, of course. But this idea now lingers within my perceptions of that song.
I told Andrew about my wanting to build a guitar and fix up my mandolin, and he seemed to like this idea for me, and thought I ought to go for broke, and get a drum kit and a recording studio. A one-man-show starring me. It would be fun if I could do it. I don't have much faith in my ability to generate enough good material even if I can play the necessary instruments, but if I can afford it I will try. It's better than accepting all the excuses for not.
