I’m not sure that I’m much alike any of them in any way.
To my fantasy Bryce world …
Perpetuum Jazzile Vocal Ecstasy concert made every year in October or November. One day I might get the chance to get the tickets since they’re sold out quite fast after announcing the dates of the concert what means 3 or 4 months before the event …
And for those who still don’t know who Perpetuum Jazzile are, here’s their really famous arangement and performance of Toto’s Africa with 20,867,455 views on YouTube … You know that famous one with rain and thunder at the beginning. The song was recorded on that so desired very same Vocal Ecstasy performance in the year of 2009. Enjoy.
Oh, and by the way: Perpetuum Jazzile are from my own little beautiful country and I’ve challenged them (and some other choirs) to sing something in Welsh for a change. Will they respond? Let’s see.
1. What does music mean to you?
It means a lot to me. Apart from other very important things like family and such things, music means my life.
2. How your fantasy world looks like? Do you paint or create it any other way especially now that so much modern technology is to disposal?
My mostly consists from the islands in the middle of the sea of all shapes and colors with strange skies and clouds …

And my fantasy blue world which was choosen for ArtWanted 2012 digital artwork calendar and represented 5th March of that year
3. If you would be choosen to learn to dance one of any national dances, which nation’s dance would you choose to dance?
I, something Welsh related. Something like this …
(Disclamer. If someone recognizes themselves in thsi video, this is pure coincidence. I’ve found it on YouTube searching for Welsh folk dances a long time ago … )
4. What’s the time in your area at the time you’re reading these my odd questions?
The time I’m writing them is 1:45 in the morning (obviously my most creative time).
5. Would you play with fire just like these dancers and musicians do???
I WOULD DEFINATELY IF i WOULD HAVE SKILLS LIKE THESE and wouldn’t be as that clumsy as I am.
So, I hope I didn’t annoy you with my odd questions and that many pics and vids posted. Sorry, my tech and odd nature work best together at the night, early morning hours.

1) What (or who) should I throw on the barbecue this evening?
Can’t go wrong with a slab of halloumi in a bun!
2) In which ways are you like either of your parents?
I don’t think I’m like either really. I’m completely different, which begs the question of how that worked out!
3) What’s in your warm sunny evening playlist?
It’s hard to beat “Pavement - Terror Twilight” LP for a BBQ.
4) Where does your yellow brick road lead to?
I’ve not seen the film relating to this, and am probably committing a cardinal offence to its fans by referring to it as a film, but assuming a yellow brick road leads to somewhere you want to end up, I’m pretty happy in Ceredigion!
5) If you could have possession of any pair of tickets right now, be they for travel, entertainment or an event, what would they be?
Tickets to travel through Europe for a few months.

I was speaking to a girl who works in Siop y Pethe - I’ll keep her name secret so as to not imply the innocent…
she orders DOUBLE PINEAPPLE on her Dominos! Even that is a bit much for me.

To be honest what other people eat never bothers me, even if they were eating a pineapple and mushroom pizza at the same table, but it does mean I wouldn’t go halves on a pizza with you. I just couldn’t.

Yes, but would she do that in Naples? No lo penso.

Because the pinaple is the only thing on pizza which is not burned (in Spain in the year of 1994 - what means it was even too real. The pizza was coal black and only pinaple was edible.).
You didn’t do a mistake at all. It refers to Wizzard of Oz where Dorothy has to find the Yellow Brick path which would lead her directly to the Emeralt City (City of Oz). So, yes it leads somewhere where you would like to end or at least to be.

You’ve got to be careful with things like these 
If I say it was a film, and it turns out it was a book/novel first, I would be running the risk of looking like an “uncultured swine”
Edit: for clarity of meaning
Never heard of something like this in our country …
And, ohh I’ve taken the wrong part of your sentence for the quote wanting to emphasize that the yellow brick road really leads to somewhere you want to end up or want to be rather than going into discussion about what was first,film or a novel. As you know, of course, novel was first in this case.
And … I many times appear as a cultural swine so I stopped really bothering with such things. I am who/what I am … 
@tatjana, you are an amazing and helpful and interesting and important woman. We value you here, and recognise that you may not ‘get’ some of the cultural references. Thats OK, sometimes I don’t either. It really depends on our background, the films we saw, the books we read, the stories we heard. And they are all different. And we are all different.

1) What (or who) should I throw on the barbecue this evening?
Halloumi kebabs, corn on the cob, posh sausages, lots of salads to go with it.
2) In which ways are you like either of your parents?
I like to think I’m like my mum in that she sees the best in everyone. We’re probably both a bit prone to being lazy and needing a lot of down time. I’m more like my Dad was in having interests (some might say obsessions) which don’t always last.
3) What’s in your warm sunny evening playlist?
I throw everything I hear and like on Radio Cymru into a spotify playlist - most recently added Cyn i’r Lle 'ma gau (Y Bandana), Edrych rol fy hun (BronweN) and Can Creulon (Yws Gwynedd)
4) Where does your yellow brick road lead to?
Straight out of the city and onto a coast path, I’d walk for miles and dip in the sea whenever it got too hot. When I’d had enough walking a lovely seaside pub would be waiting.
5) If you could have possession of any pair of tickets right now, be they for travel, entertainment or an event, what would they be?
I’d like four tickets for the best seats in the house to see Hamilton please.

We saw David Byrne in London - was completely fabulous. He is coming back to the UK in the autumn so you still have a chance!

Thank you @margaretnock.
Well, since I’ve seen @Nicky’s I understood perfectly his (might be hslf but still) humorous tone so I’ve added my at the end of my blurting also (why hefyd always comes to my mind when I want to write “also”?) . So I didn’t take it all too sirious.
However, I was born and raised in ex Yugoslavia and for those who don’t know, we had all total freedom but on the other hand we didn’t see even the quarter of the films which were out in the World (even in Europe if I refer back to the discussion about the series White Horses), we didn’t read even quarter of the books which are out even now (except you read them in English or other world languages) and we don’t know all the stories which might be famous in the World but we might never hear of them. Of course Wizard of Oz is one of those famous ones which is translated into Slovene and is one of those mandatory readings in school but there are many you hold them for well known and this way famous but we might never hear of them. So … I might unwillingly look like “cultural swine” not knowing what is trending and what came first, novel or film etc.
So, everything as good and normal as it should and could be.

I didn’t even know what film/book it was from!!! I’ve just heard the term “yellow brick road” a lot!!
Hope no offence was taken with any misunderstanding, there certainly was none meant in my reply.
I was just referring to a cultural occurance that happens in the UK where if someone doesn’t realise that a film was originally a book they may get a gentle teasing from their friends.
Usually extreme examples like someone I knew once saying “I liked the film Jane Eyre, Have they done a book version?”

A bit like when they made the film of The Bible back in the '60s. A standard question at the time was: “Have you read the book?” Answer: “No, but I’ve seen the film.” I suppose since 2013 you could say: “No, but I’ve seen the mini-series.”

Of course not! Life is too short for that! And … I’m not that easily offended as one would think it’s just that write something sometimes can’t tell everything, especially not our mood.

- What (or who) should I throw on the barbecue this evening?
Burgers, salmon in a foil envelope with lemon and butter and drumsticks.
- In which ways are you like either of your parents?
Patient as Dad, (almost), as helpful as Mum, look like both, but I have a nasty temper and I talk too much.
- What’s in your warm sunny evening playlist?
The Chatta-Nooga-Choo-Choo and similar.
- Where does your yellow brick road lead to?
An off-grid cottage with a massive hall with a single long table and matching benches along the sides only, that can disappear into the floor and a dais for musicians with a never-ending supply of food from my garden, orchard, bakery, farm and beach, where friends could meet, make merry, dance, sing, compose, play games and be happy. Valhalla meets Stovakor, Tom Bombadil, Rivendell and Shangri-La. But without the fighting and dying every day that goes on in Valhalla and Stovakor.
- If you could have possession of any pair of tickets right now, be they for travel, entertainment or an event, what would they be?
Travel - I’m planning on visiting my sister in New Zealand in November but I’m struggling to put the money together.

If you had the choice of owning an acre on the moon or an acre on Earth, which would you prefer?
Pointless question really. My favourite quote about ownership comes from Crocodile Dundee:- “Talking about owning land is like two fleas arguing over the dog they live on”.

Which do you prefer? My current favourite is the Praline. Unless there’s a Raspberry one… Oh just give me both please😬!
1) What (or who) should I throw on the barbecue this evening?
Sticky ribs, jerk chicken and bananas.
2) In which ways are you like either of your parents?
I’m very much like my Dad’s side of the family. I have my dad’s red hair, his nose and am very much like his mother - looks and build.I’ll let you know about the longevity bit. My mother has given me a passion for getting up and doing it yourself, for breaking gender traditions and developing a love for power tools, fixing and maintenance, a love for cooking, and an irritating habit of not realising your own limits and keeping going till you’re ready to drop.
3) What’s in your warm sunny evening playlist?
A lovely relaxing classical playlist which I’ve put together and possibly some Astrid Gilberto.
4) Where does your yellow brick road lead to?
In to the wilderness.
5) If you could have possession of any pair of tickets right now, be they for travel, entertainment or an event, what would they be?
An outdoor classical concert of sorts, vocal and orchestral, a green field, a warm evening, some bubbly and an indulgent picnic.
