We all came out to Montreux…

Freddie-Statue bei Sonnenuntergang

On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To commemorate Freddie
We didn’t have much time
Rock4 and Queenie
Were at the best pl—

Um, no, gotta stop here, because the school auditorium of the CESSEV was, although quite suitable for the acapella concert by Rock4, certainly not the best place around. The Ned, though, a music club in an old factory basement or something like that, wasn’t a a bad place for a Queen cover band rock concert (and even for the shorter quasi-classical before that).

(And nothing burned to the ground, hence no smoke on the water.)

Aaaalright, now that I’m back home, I can admit that I was on holiday for the past few days (don’t want to tell the dear burglars where an apartment is unguarded); at the Freddie Mercury Montreux Memorial Day in, guessed it?, Montreux. Thanks to free Internet access included in the hotel price and occasionally some time, I wasn’t completely cut off from the blogosphere, though not as active as usually.

So in the next days, there’s a little flood of photos, thematically sorted. ;) But I rather held back with photographing things, actually.1

Well, that’s it for today…

  1. Only about 1200 photos. ↺

Music Quiz 28

Welcome to the latest music quiz – like 2 weeks ago as initial letter riddle: I show the first letters of each word of titles or several lines from the lyrics, and you have to guess title and artist.

If you need examples, check out the quiz from 5 Aug

Here are all 10 right away – if needed, I’ll give hints from time to time (but in German, unless there actually is an English participant)… In case of doubt, I used the lyrics versions from LyricWiki.

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul

Nessun Dorma (aus Puccinis Turandot)
Aktuell von Paul Potts dank der Telekom-Werbung in den Charts.

← Refrain ergänzt

Kid Rock: All Summer Long
We didn’t have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

And we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love down by the lake to our favorite song

Sipping whiskey out the bottle
Not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long

Danke fürs Mitmachen, bis nächsten Dienstag!
