Rock n Roll Nanny

Product Information

The spontaneous jet-set lifestyle soon morphed into an unpredictable, chaotic one. Meanwhile, five-month-old Jade was becoming more attached to Sally – “I was with her 24 hours a day, feeding, cuddling, bathing, it’s only natural.” Sally worked her last day on March 2 1972, although it wasn’t the last she saw of the couple. As you would imagine the books covers exposure to substances, unsavoury people and Arnold touches on her own experience of being abused/people in power abusing that. Some of the antics and behaviour is quite appauling of these celebs.

When Sally moves on to organising charity events, she has to manage other larger-than-life personalities such as Billy Connolly and Rowan Atkinson. Sally also handles famous names from Princess Diana and the Duke of Edinburgh, to Mikhail Gorbachev and Poet Laureate Ted Hughes. In a world of demanding egos and overly pressing schedules, Sally sought refuge in her true passion, classical music. “ I auditioned for the London Symphony Orchestra Chorus in 1973 and passed“, says. “ It helped me escape insanity, and it was my secret. Until Jagger heard me sing the high notes of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” on the plane and asked me to bring the choir to sing at Knebworth’s concert in 1976· and i did it!» This year marks 20 years since she was cured of breast cancer. She was the first to proudly tattoo over her mastectomy scar. “ People say they should be brave. But you do what you have to do, there is no alternative, you just keep going” says Sally, who, by the way, chose not to have children of her own. He is relieved to have retired: “ I volunteer helping local teenagers to experience music through my charity Jamming Station. I still enjoy my trips to London, to see old friends, and the long gossipy lunches, but without the alcohol. It’s like poison to me now, it gives me migraines. Maybe because I’ve been lagging…“, he admits. The second half continued Sally's fascinating life but got a little bogged down by the inclusion of articles and details about her travels. And I really believe she could have used an editor to cut down on the number of exclamation points! Bryan from West Milton, OhMade about a young man that found his manhood when banging his nauty nanny. She must have been a fat bottomed girl...woman.The music industry fascinates me and I am beyond excited to acquire this for our branch and share my thoughts.

Ken from Yorkton, CanadaI have had it known that Brian wrote this song in "Tribute" of all of the groupies that would do "anything" to meet them. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn November 16th 1978, Queen appeared in concert* at Madison Square Garden in New York City...

From that moment on Sally’s life would never be the same and eventually her name would soon become as big as her employers! I don’t think anyone had been particularly thoughtful before. Everything I did was for the good of the tour and I was also there for them. When Allen Collins [from Lynyrd Skynyrd] missed the birth of his first baby, he was heartbroken so I had him sobbing on my shoulder.” Luke from Manchester, EnglandJust for the record: I am not homphobic or disrespectful to Freddie or anyone who's gay. I made a joke about it being Fat bottommed boys and you PC ballbags came down heavy on it - Lighten up and get a life. Freddie would have made the same joke himself. And for the record, Fred was gay, not bi, he said himself "I am as gay as a daffodil, my dear". Research, it is your friend. Exceeding the boundaries was never a problem, except once” during the Stones’ European tour in 1976. He was a stupid boy, a roadie, who could have invited me for a drink or a meal, and instead threw himself into an elevator». A plane tragedy changed her life The narrative in the book is recounted with some assistance from Sally’s old diary extracts, and it all adds up to being let in to see what an extraordinary life this remarkable woman has had.

Nevertheless, I think this book will find an audience of people who are interested in not only the music of the 1960s to 1990s, but also in the lifestyles and behind-the-scenes of the music industry and tours. The book may also be an inspiration to women pursuing a career in an industry dominated by men.Bridget from CoDon't know why, but once toward the end of history class our teacher was talking, and with a part of a reaction video where one girl commented on this song in mind, I commented, "Queen's Jazz album!" He agreed. Still don't know why I said that. By late October 1966, I was learning how to play the guitar. It is now 56 years on, and I'm still playing/performing/recording/composing/teaching guitar. Sally does now realise while writing this book about her life there was a lot of privilege in her upbringing and education. Through the years Sally has met and worked with royals – from Prince Charles and Princess Diana to the late Duke of Edinburgh – Poet Laureate Ted Hughes, world leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev and Chou En-lai, and great musicians such as Anne-Sophie Mutter. She now lives in Devon.
