          a bizarre thought crossed my mind that earth movers are called JCBs, the initials of one of the Bach family
          Think JCB and not of Bach.

          Perhaps I'm following Res Man's example in having unmusical ones - one has a literary link, one bells and the other to JCBs roots.

              Time for some fresh air, mercs?
              "...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..."

                        I think that means that Sam has the literary connections
                        wikipedia seems to have gone stupid on me so I can't find out if Barbirolli had a middle name
                        lots of churches called St Marys

                                JCB were started in Uttoxeter

                                I'm guessing that The Bells of St Mary's was set in Uttoxeter

                                Sam, I draw a blank on
