An Impressive Collection of Bones
“The sequel is often not as entertaining as the original; the son not quite so stellar as his father. (This is especially true in regards to movies.) But, for whatever reason, there seem to be a number of musical sequels that are as enjoyable as the originals.”—Tim Bayer

BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—October 2018—The sequel is often not as entertaining as the original; the son not quite so stellar as his father. (This is especially true in regards to movies.) But, for whatever reason, there seem to be a number of musical sequels that are as enjoyable as the originals.
One example that immediately springs to mind is the Eagles’ original “Hotel California,” released on December 8, 1976, and followed, in 1994, by “Hotel California, Hell Freezes Over,” from MTV Unplugged. This year, my own short list of excellent musical sequels has been increased by one.
The new addition to the list is “Bonehemian Rhapsody,” recorded in 2018 at the International Trombone Festival. (The original, 1975 version, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” is by Queen from their album, “A Night At The Opera.”)
