    Sorry folks, you all came alive just as I went out for a while.

    That is the V. (Interesting thought, vinteuil - but not on this card)

    And yes I was watching Happy Valley, anton. Isn't it GREAT! Didn't see any of the first series. Edge of the seat stuff. Quite apart from the main male psycho, just when you think think that woman psycho is bad enough, along comes another who's worse!

    Ferde Grofe's Death Valley Suite
    That's the first part.

    Two more musical Valleys please.

      Erm ...

      EDIT: <doh>! I get it now: "an atlas" rather than the mythological "Atlas". I was confused earlier.

        Atlas wasn't really a clue - just a general guide to the fact that we're not talking about anatomy.

        There's a much stronger clue (the one I meant to be a clue) in the same post

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

          'interesting' - as with the Quiz at 9:30 am where a listener suggests 'Tchaikovsky' to a question needing the answer 'Perotin' -

          "Well," says Rob/Sara/Sarah "we've had some interesting suggestions... " . .

                      No.... Nice one though ('interesting but wrong'). In what I'm thinking of, the word 'lift' isn't used specifically, just gives you the idea....

                      As mentioned before, there's a key word in the second line of post #281
