        As I understand it, he never was (he was originally "Yanks"), but his father and paternal ancestors were.

          ... presumably the first singer was singing Schoenberg with Pierre [B], and shared the name of the female Elvis Presley.

          And isn't the second singer, doing the Gershwin, despite ferney's disclaimer in#2654, Ms Joplin?

              The disclaimer was correct - as I said, the answer isn't Pulcie's suggested "Joplin". I didn't disclaim anything else.

                  If there is Someone out there brimming with a Special K - would you like to kontinue?

                  Otherwise I will try to think of something towards the end of Oktober ...

                      I don't disagree, but I have konjured up a kolourful konundrum that I think is kwite straightforward if there is a konsensus to keep the ball rolling. Or we could kick it into touch.
