    Brilliant solution to an excellent puzzle. Congrats and admiration to cloughie and anton!
    I may skip to R. Is there a precedent?

      ... I think it is accepted that Q, X, Y, Z are passoverable letters.

      I think we should similarly consider U and O - Lordy, how many ocarinas, ophicleides,* and Obertos can a person stomach? (Depends on the Oesophagus, I s'pose... )

        Never wrong, and often helpful.

        Sadly, still sometimes marked down in school tests!

              Can we assume either Prok or Rach?

              And would that be the animal as opposed to an adjective?

                        Ah yes, Owen Pallett played fiddle for a short time with the Canadian Celtic Rock band Enter the Haggis

                          I don't think cloughie would go for the obvious, though. I was thinking

                          Sergei Rachmaninov: The Rock
                          Owen Brannigan premiered the role of Rock Bottom in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream
                          T Rex, the best of the Glam Rock ensembles.

                                I'm sorry I had to miss the fun yesterday... Especially our dear vinliquoreux who appears to have uncorqued the Yquem at breakfast time for the first of a volley of eclectic witticisms, ranging from the Carry On films to indie rock via the keyed serpent - a pageant of surprising titillation!
