Alphabet associations - I

[Flay]

How many times has the Alphabet been Associated? Let's go round one more time. One A three times, that:

Bemoaned caries for lack or care.
Flowered into something soft but mechanical.
Is numerical and negative about his concertos.

Ayres?

Ayres?

1 minute!!!!!

Go on then....

Not sure about toothache, but Richard Ayres has written a number of Non-certos for solo instrument and ensembles, and Kevin Ayres was in the psychodelic rock group, Soft Machine

Oh, no, Flay; surely not

I am so sorry, ferney....

You'll have to do Better

p.s. what on earth is a NONconcerto? And why does Richard Ayres have to start the name of every composition with its number?

NONoriginality, I suppose....

A NONcerto, mercs ("Concerto" with the initial "C" replaced by an "n"!) - it's a work for soloist(s) and ensemble that isn't a "Concerto". (Ayres dislikes what strikes him as the pomposity of so many of the "big" concertos; he prefers something more frivolous and playful.)

I'm back in my usual embarrassing state of having to go offline until tomorrow afternoon, so either I think up a B between now and then and everyone else talks amongst themselves, or if somebody steps in with a handy B, I'll catch up later tomorrow.

Are you sure that's not Nonce-rtos ??

I suspect Mr Ayres's oeuvre would irritate me.

I would never have got that A. The Z I would, I think, had I been at the Internaut-o-mator

Oh Lor! Did you find someone to cover? Or is the trip away sunk?

Here's a quick B to take your mind off it (Wasted time? Never! Think of all those yummy factoids!! Mmmmmm!)

Ralph and Ben and Walt link which B?
