    I freely confess to getting neither the puzzle nor RM's joke...

    Justin.... Lavender? Timberlake?

    How many Justins are there in music? Not many!


    "...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..."

          Very mysterious! There's a thing here I'm not getting at all!

                  Has anybody mentioned Charles Ives yet? (This question may, of course, remain unanswered...)

                    I have a feeling that may be inspired...

                      You have now - your unanswered answer is the answer!

                      So who was Jan and his question answer? or are there more than one? - look carefully!

                        There is actually a Moody Blues number called 'Question'. It features on the album referred to above.

                              'There are more questions than answers' ... but that's Johnny Nash.
                              I shall be out to lunch (in the nicest sense!) shortly, but I'm sure all will have been revealed (ooh er, Missus) when I return.
