Aw...Thanks everyone!<br />Nice to meet you too, Kristen!<br />Aww, sorry, Gary! But I had so much fun posting photos each day :-)<br />Miss you, Michael!<br /><br />And yes, I miss writing, too, Theresa. I've got so much editing to do! Need to get back on a regular schedule or in a regular groove soon.<br /><br />I agree with your gripe, Hilary!Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-15003657790278593172014-08-12T06:33:50.848-04:002014-08-12T06:33:50.848-04:00Hi Deniz - the Wallace project must be so interest...Hi Deniz - the Wallace project must be so interesting - lucky you.<br /><br />Freddie Mercury was an amazing character wasn't he .. I'd no idea about these connections either .. all of them .. the lyrics, the reason etc .. fascinating to read about.<br /><br />Lovely area you're living in .. and so good to see more photos. I learnt about the Reformation Wall in Geneva acknowledging Luther, Calvin, Knox et al ... <br /><br />Fascinating what we learn .. I still use grown-ups ... and each family would adapt their familial callings ... I wonder when Mummy and Daddy came in ..<br /><br />Social history developing .. the BBC is now called a mother 'Mum' and a father 'Dad' - why .. it's 'horrible'!!!<br /><br />In a sentence such as 'his Dad is on a trip overseas' ... rather than 'his father is on a trip overseas' ..... it's just horrid!! My gripe for today ... <br /><br />I'm late here .. but a fascinating read and so good to see you're well and happy in bonny Switzerland .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-68322600571957583842014-08-02T22:41:47.906-04:002014-08-02T22:41:47.906-04:00Wow, interesting about Freddie Mercury.

HELP! :)<br /><br />I had no idea about the origins of Smoke on the Water was in reference to Lake Geneva. Cool stuff and thanks for all the musical stuff. Frank Zappa was rather fond of yellow snow, evidently :)<br /><br />Take care, Deniz.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-4478568686354743882014-07-24T14:57:07.842-04:002014-07-24T14:57:07.842-04:00I remember reading the story about "Smoke on ...I remember reading the story about "Smoke on the Water" when the album came out.

Very interesting about Deep Purple's inspiration. I listen to songs and get caught up with the beat, and many lyrics are too hard to decipher these days.<br /><br />Hope all goes well<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-78390723567726830222014-07-23T21:59:59.357-04:002014-07-23T21:59:59.357-04:00I had no idea of either of these facts!

(though to be honest, I don't think I've ever actually listed to the lyrics of Smoke on the Water - all I know is the guitar riff!) <br /><br />Great photos! I really want to see more of Switzerland. The bus tour I went on last year visited Lauterbrunnen for one day, but then we went straight on to Venice.
