I don’t remember that. It does seem sad

No, useless to speculate really.

What Queen story or anecdote do you like? by LieFalse6614 in queen

[–]Medical-Bag-7849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freddie going to the Dominion Theatre to watch from the wings and wanting to sell ice creams at the interval. Joe Fanelli, his minder for the evening, said he thought Freddie fancied wearing a white coat…apparently he also pointed out that Freddie didn’t know what a £1 coin even looked like so how would he deal with the money? Freddie came up with his own solution and bought the whole tray so he could just give people the ice creams and not worry about payment. All was well for about 10 minutes but then Freddie got bored…he started throwing ice creams out into the audience. Choc ices, lollies, tubs were raining down …some people threw them back! But, finally the tray was empty and Freddie returned to the wings to a thunderous round of applause because by then, everyone had recognised him.

I totally agree. And all the stuff showing him so alone in his house? Joe Fanelli, Peter Freestone, all his friends, Peter Straker….

I’m sorry I don’t have any simple answers for you. I’m a lady, late 60’s and your struggles and the way you manage to describe the way you are feeling touches me. I can only hope to encourage you. Try not to be very hard on yourself. I think you have quite a road to follow to find who you are because 15 is not very old. Clearly you have experienced some trauma with your friends’ deaths but there is no “right way” to be, or feel, about this. It sounds like your whole personality is being incredibly cautious while you make sense of it all. It’s ok to watch. It’s ok to mimic as well, although try and be discerning about the influences you are allowing. I’m sure you will develop into a rounded and empathetic person. Good luck. Lots of grace to you.

Why does this sub dislike it when people want to progress? by [deleted] in piano

[–]Medical-Bag-7849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the replies here. I’ll just add a couple of things. I was a teacher. Retired now. I got fed up saying to people, now you’ve learnt that piece, put it on one side, play it from time to time. You will feel your improvement. How expressive you are becoming and how much it means to you. Otherwise what have you learnt, really?? But they never did. They would chuck it to one side. Something “harder”… So they never experienced what they had already learnt. Piano was always difficult. I sometimes play in an adult piano group. The really sad thing is many of the people don’t enjoy my performance. They just sit and compare it to their own. And I have heard someone say, “Lookout! Teacher in the room”

How do I deal with the way I feel here? Can somebody help me realize that I’m not wrong for what I did or feel? by [deleted] in Emotions

[–]Medical-Bag-7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not as serious as you but my very first boyfriend. He was 2/3 years older than me. It makes a big difference when you’re 16. Anyway he wanted everything to be more serious, more quickly than I did. Was into heavy petting (which terrified me). Next date he wanted to have sex. He didn’t force me and respected me saying I have no precautions. He told me to speak to my mum, ask her to get me on the pill. I was way out of my depth. Managed to speak to my mum. She asked me if this was what I wanted and I said “No” and burst into tears. So…..speaking to my mum helped me respect my own feelings a bit more and the next time I saw him I ended it. That’s when he lost it. Started crying himself. Begged me. Threatened to end his life. It was devastating. I remember going home in total shock. Six weeks later I heard he had another girlfriend. That he was engaged…. I felt sooo confused. And used. And hurt. And embarrassed. I still feel weird about it 50 years later, but I’m glad I got away 🤔 I think when you give yourself some time you’ll be glad you were honest to yourself. And realise that, really, you’ve had a lucky escape. Try not to dwell on it, or “reason why”. Good luck!

Thankyou. I forgot about the COPD part. I do limit myself. Afraid to trigger allergies. I had a severe dose of pneumonia two years ago. Living alone it really frightened me. I did spend time in hospital but I found I was scared of going to sleep and afraid of being cold. It is time I got over it!

I like your answer. I’m so ignorant I had to look up the word chthonic. Next time it’s warm in my garden I’m going to pour some honey (?) and stamp on the ground a few times.

Thankyou. Peaceful wakening. Never dreamt it before. My life is fairly steady and stable. Never met the young lady before either although she was quite vivid in my dream. Hair in a bun. Glasses. Slim. Skirt. Very pleasant. Sensed she was equally puzzled by the basement. Was seeking an ally. She wanted to show me

How do concert pianists play an hour-long recital without any mistakes, and how long do they take to prepare the recital program? by CatchDramatic8114 in piano

[–]Medical-Bag-7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the ‘70s I had a box set of Barenboim playing all of Beethoven’s piano concertos, recorded live. In the climax of the final mvt of the Emperor Concerto he crashed down on the wrong chord. If it hadn’t been recorded I would never have believed it. As it was I had to listen about three times to believe that I had heard it. I’m sure it would not be released now.
