        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?)

        No significance - I hurriedly penned the reply and was probably thinking Hey or Hay!

          F you got as Fennell. Can you think of a work with Fennell in it? the version I know is by Anthony Collins and the NSOL.

              The conductor of a light orchestra - someone with a sound like hay and somehow linked to fennell. Sorry, I give in.

                    You got the berger at last!

                    I guess the last one was even too cryptic by my standards - I was looking for Paul Fenoulhet - which sounds like Fennel hay.
