The concert was really fun! The first half was just opera, but the second half they did Phantom of the Opera, Pinball Wizard from Tommy, AND Bohemian Rhapsody. They were accompanied by a high school kid on electric guitar, and a bunch of gals on strings. For the Queen song, they got another high school kid, obviously TOO COOL for words this kid, wearing drainpipe jeans with a big music note belt buckle, tight shirt, little choker necklace and swoopy hair. He sang Freddy Mercury's part, and absolutely rocked it! But when they got to the heavy choir part toward the end of the song (remember it from Wayne's World?), the choir started banging their heads, just like Wayne's pals in the Gremlin!!! I was laughing my head off, partly because it was funny in itself, but mainly because it was hilarious to see my friend's moms, at their choir recital that they were taking so seriously, banging their silvery heads!! I had to explain TWICE to my mom why it was funny at all. :)
And here's a related picture of my friend Karen. We were best friends from when she moved in next door, when she was 2 and I was 1. You may recognise her from the back seat of Wayne's Gremlin!
I think this pic may have been taken on her honeymoon.

Yo! Stoked you got to see my 75 year old mom rock out. When she told me what she was singing, I was totally floored. I had a hard time holding back the giggles at the thought of my mom singing a Who song...I had to explain to her who these bands were. My beau's daughter thinks my mom is pretty cool ;)
