    Now who's a tease?

    (As far as I'm concerned, there's no F in view. )

      I have house guests arriving in about 30 mns, so shall be offline until tomorrow...

      So all this beating about the bush may lead to a break in the service!

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

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Any more for any more?

        I may be able to get back on late if guests retire at a sensible hour...

            I once rescheduled a business meeting so that I could pop along to Père Lachaise to see Jim (Morrison). Frederic (Chopin) is also buried there, of course, as is Francis Poulenc. Might Ivry be Gitlis, Ida be Haendel and 'E' therefore George Enescu?

              That was a cunning edit! Yes, well done - violin pupils

              Curses, have to edit my own contributons as the iPad incorrects my spelling! (it converted well to we'll)!

                Oh, have only got back to Wales thanks to First Grest Western and their wonderful trains for transporting me safely, but was thinking Pierre la Chaise Jim, Chopin, etc., that the E was Edith Piaf. Oh well, it's been a long day ...... Thomas Babbington Macaulay wrote a poem called Ivry ... Night, night. I see the puzzle is solved, possibly

                        It was the reference to George that let me in through the Back Door, Man.

                        An 'F': please to link London, New York, New York again and Heidelberg.

                            Fürtwangler is not one of the four people involved.
