    Mercia & Lats... would you like me to proceed with... .... is it T?
    Well done - Quadrophenia "sounds" like it could lead you to "quadrophonic" and it did.

    I also dotted a couple of "Who"s around my comments, a hint at the band most closely associated with the film.

    If mercia is content, I'm very happy for you to set a T question.

    (and Mercia is)

    Footnote - I have now included some information on the Birtwistle composition in post 25438.

      A T to link Stradivarius, Dallapiccola and a founder of the Theosophical Society...

      (PS: Suddenly had a big wave of déjà-vu re-reading my question - hope I haven't set it before
      Amnesia Rules O...erm.... )
      "...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..."

          Probably both

          (PS May I give advance notice that I will be erratic in my visits to the Forum starting shortly, notably from 6:30 to c. 10:30 when - not least on the advice of Dr Flay - I shall be attending this evening's John Adams événement... So I hope someone solves soon!

              It is an omniscient and a mysterious fellow!

                And afterwards you may be Tung-tied and in no fit state to answer questions

                Enjoy!

                              Well, you have to give these things a try...

                              What if St Paul had decided not to go to Damascus?

                              Tomorrow's B9 will be even better for you now!
