The Bert is connected to the W not Walton!

ah yes, sorry, I keep forgetting Walton is not the W

I need a W in Walton's life, either another composition, a person, a place or something else

So do I!
I also realize that we haven't established that the "Joni" is Ms Mitchell - the contrary, in fact??

Go on, cloughie: a clue, please: which of the elements is the Walton concerned with? (Unless this makes it too easy!)

The Wise Virgins
Where does the unuttered Music Go?

A where are we to recap with hints!
W linking

Joni and prickles* - Anna's Woodstock confirmed that Joni is Mitchell - the W is someone linked with Joni.
An ursine beast The Bear got you to Walton but he is secondary
Bert - a link with the W - I'll give you another clue if needed.

* to be accurate former prickles.

or Wimborne [Alice]

Oh, yes! The "dark lady" of the First Symphony!

do we need to substitute prickles for another word - spines, thorns ?

porcupines ?

Cacti? And "former prickles"?? Ex-thorns?

STOP LAUGHING, cloughie and give us a clue!

Another crossed post!

Joni and prickles* - Anna's Woodstock confirmed that Joni is Mitchell - the W is someone linked with Joni.

Her father was William Anderson. (William Walton ... ?)

Bert - a link with the W - I'll give you another clue if needed.
