Well.... that would be my hint too! Won't you enlighten the company, as you clearly know the answer, and then proceed to A?

And you get a special 
from The Anna's Law Society for that exemplary explanation 
The only other nugget one might chuck in to keep Cloughie's appetite for 'factoids' satisfied, is that Efrem Zimbalist Snr was a top violinist, as well as composer - he taught Shumsky among others, and came out of retirement to give the world première of Menotti's Violin Concerto, written for him.
A gentle A to cheer us up on this dank day?
