Ooh, missus, he's good!

Right on all accounts. Cloughie has the F

An F to link wind, sheep and sounds like hay.

Do you mean something or someone that sounds like the word hay?

Flay sounds suspiciously like hay ........ Wind and sheep, on the other hand, bring to mind Wales.

I thought it might be the Rev. Eli Jenkins, killed by drink and agriculture.
Who, undogcollared because of his little weakness, was scythed to the bone one harvest by mistake when sleeping with his weakness in the corn. He lost all ambition and died, with one leg.
But, obviously it was a combine, not a flail, that hastened his end.
So, no idea!

The wind is American, the sheep English and the beginning of the hay sounds like the F and begins with that letter and the end sounds like hay but not spelled like it. Also I am out shortly for the evening, so if anyone wishes to abandon and start an I then pleae do so.

[Anna]

There are no English breed of sheep beginning with F as far as I know. Nor are any American winds. Can it be that we are looking for a classical music connection?
Edit: offline until tomorrow

I think we need some help, cloughie. I've been looking up various sheep / shepherd related pieces, sheep safely grazing, pastorales &c. &c. Nothing so far...

[Flay]

Same here, even checking on the funk group Earth Wind & Fire . Clues please

[cloughie]

All clues are classical and light. The American bit is a conductor, the Englsh bit is a piece of light classical music and the sounds like one was a conductor of a light orchestra.

[mercia]

it seems to me that the only word that sounds like [as opposed to rhymes with] hay is hey
so I'm looking for a conductor called Mr Hey

apparently there's a wind in France called the Marin but I don't think we call Marin Alsop a light conductor [depends what she had for lunch I suppose]

hmmm - names of winds - mistral, foehn, leveche, sirocco, zephyr ................

I wonder if there's any significance in the fact that in #25581 you invited us to abandon F and go straight to I

the only piece of sheep-related English light music that springs to mind is Shepherd's Hey (or is that Australian?)

[Flay]

I've been through the Wiki list of American conductors and cannot find anything related to wind or types of wind.

Why not give us the answer, cloughie, and we can work the clues out from that?

But he said

the beginning of the hay sounds like the F and begins with that letter and the end sounds like hay but not spelled like it.

So it cannot be Hey?

Indeed
