      ... did all his lovers have a surname beginning with B, or was he just working his way through the alphabet?

      Idle curiosity: nothing to do with the puzzle. A track on previously mentioned album.

          I don't know what's wrong with me today: I'm being remarkably slow!

            It's gone very quiet!

            A resumé, perhaps? Vinty identified the Serge Gainsbourg album Bonnie & Clyde and alluded to the relevant track therefrom.
            mercs identified Huddersfield composer Gordon Dyson's Chanson d'Apres-Midi

            ... so we need a similarly-titled piece by Turnage, which will get us to the B in question.

            Now, I'm off to bake some bread. Now; what shall I use? Strong white? Self-raising? Wholemeal? Oh No! They've all gone off!

              Gosh, where is everybody?

              Turnage - Two Baudelaire Songs: 1. Harmonie du soir; 2. L'invitation au Voyage
              Baudelaire - 11th track on "Bonnie and Clyde," a collaboration album by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot.
              Charles Baudelaire wrote the words to Chanson d'Après-midi http://www.englishtenor.co.uk/Dyson.htm

              How about a C from Vinny? Cheers!

                    C'est vraiment!
                    Gordon Dyson: Chanson d'Apres-midi (words by our Charlie)
                    Mark Anthony Turnage: Harmonie du soir (from Two Baudelaire Songs)
                    Serge Gainsbourg's 1968 Album Bonnie & Clyde, the penultimate track of which is called Baudelaire in honour of the author of Les Fleurs du Mal, or, in English, The Flours've Gone Off.

                      I hope people do want to play still. I suspect Callibs is jet-lagged. Subby is lurking, Norfy is grumpy. It doesn't leave too many oldies.

                      High time we had some new blood. Is there anybody out there....??? This isn't a closed shop - everyone can associate here.

                      But I've been hogging things recently. Perhaps Vinny could Collaborate as he really did crack the last one?

                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                              I'm feeling back on fighting form. I'll C you right, squire.

                              In a word: Fux.

                              In several: Fux is linked by this C with Bononcini and a Holy Roman Emperor.

                                Deary me, it is not a pleasant experience googling that!
