I suspected that nudge would help. Sorry I had to retire before witnessing the denouement...Originally posted by Caliban View PostAh....
Is the G Grace?
Because Grace Bumbry played Venus at Bayreuth in 'Tannhauser' in 1961, the first black singer to appear there...
Can't connect the parlour and ornamental elements yet...
Grace Bumbry indeed. (I think I've set this clue before).
Well done Calibs,
and well done Flay for getting the other two. 
I guess it falls to one of you to take us onto HComment

Flay, how do you feel about Haitch? I've got one germinating, but if you h-h-h-have one in full flower, do go for it, unless Mrs F is hovering ominously about the breakfast table...

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