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

        Yes, I know. How about putting that into practice and sharing one of your conundrums one of these days?

              Oooh I say!



              Thanks mercs! Haven't had chance to think about a V.

              Yours shall be thought about as I cycle home in the sunshine

                    Premiered Ravel's Jeux d'Eau, played Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau. Aloysius Bertrand - he introduced his poems to Ravel and Gaspard resulted - don't know?

                      wikipedia translates Miroirs [premiered Vines] as Reflections
                      and Gaspard was premiered by ........ ?
                      wiki says Gaspard de la Nuit is an old French expression for the devil [but whether one can trust wiki I wouldn't like to say]


                      anyway, well done cloughie, undoubtedly your turn now
