Sarah Walker has recorded music by Hugh Shrapnel (CD: 'South of the River')Originally posted by Caliban View Post
Robert Walker composed My Dog has Fleas: a Capriccio for scratch orchestra (using a four-note tone row based on the tuning of the strings of a ukulele).Comment

Just posted to Caliban and then saw subcontra had got the two remaining Walker elements! Robert Walker also composed English Parody Mass (mentioned in my original clue) which we've had before in another question on AA I think but a different letter. I'm not sure how often Sarah Walker is presenting on R3 these days. So I think it's over to subcontra for the letter of his choice.Comment

Difficult to get past Yorick on this one, though how he could fit the other clues eludes me. Otherwise the only Shakespearean Ys I can think of are various Yorks (Dukes, Bishops &c.)...Originally posted by subcontrabass View Post
In other words: ummmm

You have the correct Y. Now link him separately with Sam and Faust and think what comes at the beginning.Originally posted by Caliban View PostDifficult to get past Yorick on this one, though how he could fit the other clues eludes me.
