The March of the Black Queen

Hey, does anyone read these episode descriptions? I could probably write anything here couldn’t I? I could ask you to send me photos of your favourite letter box. Maybe I could see if someone would be willing to paint themselves orange, stand on the steps of Huddersfield Town Hall and repeatedly scream “Life goes on BRA!” for four hours, or until the local constabulary arrive to deal with them. Maybe I’ll start a movement of some kind and I can relay secret messages to my followers here, like the spies used to do with the Times crossword. Things like, “The elucidated octopus knows no pity”. You know, that kind of thing…

If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it “Bo Rhap before Bo Rhap” or possibly “Them dudes can play!”

Today’s song covers the monumental centre-piece from Side Black of “Queen II”, all six and a half minutes of “The March of the Black Queen”.

The song included at the end of the episode is “Pharmacist on a Harley” from the latest Randy Woods Band album, “Soul Hammer” and you can find it here! https://youtu.be/WgARAxQqifw

NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev’s manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 46:58 (yeh we know, it’s a long one this week folks!)
