Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 95
A Night at the Opera
This groundbreaking album was released 50 years ago today.
“Talk like a big business tycoon,
But you're just a hot - air balloon,
So no one gives you a damn,
You're just an overgrown school - boy
Let me tan your hide.”

Another collaboration from a while back that gave me an opportunity as a guitarist to express my love for the 80ies vibe - and always trying my best to come as close to my idols from back then, e.g. #DannHuff, #SteveLukather, #MichaelLandau, #PaulJacksonJr. to name a few). Song composed by #CarolinaMartucci and arranged Riccardo Dalli Cardillo, Ben Christa on drums. More info in the video caption. https://youtu.be/j-TurxeWoTA?si=znYd3LPdP12RDwL3
