"SkyDodgy" is surely a tautology? (It's not a film I could ever watch again - made me quite queasy just the first time! Stronger stomachs needed.)


Baldwin, Steinway and Fazioli are all makes of Piano, and, as such have strings hit by hammers.

Cawton Aston was a Spinet maker, Jakob Adlung was, and the Hubbard Co are, manufacturers of Harpsichords: their strings are plucked by quills.

Bravo ferney ... and beautifully Anna's Law-ed too - though whether it was kind enough we shall have to leave to Brother Vints

A misty-cal Scottish village loses its head in pieces by (among others) Campra and Purcell. Hop to it and get its soggy Handel.

Might this Scottish village be Brigadoon?

It might, indeed.

And, Rigadoon fits Purcell and Campra (I think)

Go for it, Anna!

[Anna]

Go for it, Anna!

Go for what? You've already said Brigadoon (Handel) what else is there to solve? A Rigadoon is a dance, err, that's it folks!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Handel, as far as I know, has nothing to do with Brigadoon: you need a soggier (and more topical) reference.

Not following you, Anna - Brigadoon is by Lerner and Loewe, innit?

Rigaudon. Handel. Water music thingy.

[amateur51]

Why did I say Handel? Did it win a Handel Award? Oh, I dunno, I'm not paying attention am I?

... which means a Full Set to Anna (combining #s 21187 & '92)

Yes, Rigaudon/Rigadoon a dance conveniently described by the articles Vinty kindly supplied - one involving lots of hops; which, coincidentally, is what it takes to get me dancing!

Looking forward to a Splediferous S from South-East Wales!
