      very good - a celebration of the large Damrosch family
      Leopold Mannes, nephew of Walter who was the son of Leopold - Walter had a brother Frank who was a conductor
      Leopold Damrosch Mannes co-invented Kodachrome with Leopold Godowsky Jr., a violinist and son of the pianist/composer Leopold Godowsky Sr.

      anyway, well done cloughie. I think we've satisfied Anna Slaw

          well I assume Gioachino is Rossini
          Giacomo could be Carissimi, Meyerbeer or Puccini (if it's a composer)
          is Ian Stewart an extra Stone ?

            ...or 14 lbs gained as a result of a deplorable lack of dietary discipline?

                    But, if you were underweight to start with ..... an extra stone would perhaps be welcome?
                    Nothing to do with the answer but didn't Eric Clapton play with the Stones? Or have I imagined that?

                      New York, 1975. I hope the Stones benefited from their session with God.

                        merc

                        Meyerbeer, Rossini not Ian Stewart but the instrument is correct.

                          Clapton jammed with individual members of the Stones eg with Bill and Charlie on the Howling Wolf London Sessions.

                          Anna I'm delighted to say that the Sun has shone in West Cornwall from early today!

                              Well, we must have had your usual Cornish weather in exchange, this morning was dully, misty, cloudy, cool, not clearing until way after lunchtime. And, sorry, cannot offer any answer to the puzzle (just to stay ontopic!)
