        It would be if it was correct.

        Lennie OK

        Cali's Neil Tennant is the correct one and the Morton is incorrect, but I cannot fault the endeavour and enthusiasm, ferney.

          But ferney's West is right, no? - just one of the elements left to get...?

                Jelly's West End Blues as mentioned by ferns has to be at least as good as the answer on the card... I can't see any other...

                  Are you trying to unsettle the setter, Cali. Morton is the forename.
                  Go West was a good answer but yours was the correct one!

                            No I wouldn't do that - never believed anyone could call himself Horton Market!

                            For the last West think Freddie Fennell!

                              Not in fact written for Fennell's Eastman-Rochester band, but memorably recorded by them

                                Cali pulls the Morton out of the marsh, and the pleasure of negotiating with ferney as to who has the dubious honour of the graveyard of the alphabet X Y Z spot.
                                I don't think I suggested that he wrote i for Fred's band but it is one of many great Mercury Living Presence recordings.
