There are some people you never meet who have a profound effect on your life. Thanks to a friend who gifted me a record (as in vinyl) copy of Queen, in 1973 I became a hard-core Queen addict. It was #83 on the US charts and earned a gold record. I played it over and over and over that my grandparents bought me earphones. You can imagine their joy when I came home with Queen II.
But there's more to this story than music.
