    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.

          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

                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

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

                            Just had to face the fearful fury of my other half... She has just discovered that I had said I would work an extra session Thursday aftenoon next week when we are supposed to be going away. I forgot...

                                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?
