    .... Can't help thinking there's a walnut in your coleslaw there.

    However it has enabled me to learn that Owen Wingrave takes place partly in my manor - Bayswater and Hyde Park!

    No rocks though...

                  Careful though might be damage when you hit it!

                  ...and for the other you may need to translate the hymn-sheet!

                            I'm lost - it's Rock(s) but not Rachmaninoff???

                              I think it was Rach's Rock.

                                Suggesting a different Sergei - and as he'd earlier said yes to "Rachmaninoff or Prokofiev", I presume either a different "Rock" from later in Rachmaninoff's career, or a "Rock" from Prokofiev?

                                His
                                ...and for the other you may need to translate the hymn-sheet!
                                Suggests you've got the Owen sorted.
