    Is Percy encouraging us to be rude;
    And Morris is so sensitive!

      ah thanks, I must swot up on Parsifal, it sounds fun.
      what a punning thread this is

        No, not Mahler. There are more than one kind of sticks.

        'Make' is not a clue. Why do you think Morris is so sensitive?

          A Mr Kemp reportedly Morris-danced from Norwich to London. And Percy Grainger might be encouraging us to Mock Morris?

            Did Percy Mock him?
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  Yes, you and Northender got it exactly same time re Percy but he also got Kemp's Morris. Now, who gets the Gustav who is not Mahler and his stick? And nothing to do with Wyn Morris.

                      No. Was Percy's surname Morris .......

                              Anna - in no way an aspersion on your question-setting abilities -it was a link (that didn't work) to a piece by Anthony Gustav Morris, which he was conducting. He seems to be (or have been) a pretty prolific composer.

                                No, I didn't - well I sort of did because I'd read your post wrong and instantly corrected one second later. Not my fault your internet connection is so fast ........ Will you ever forgive me ........... <goes down on bended knees in total abject supplication and looks wistful emoticon>
