I would propose to perform a classic "Mercia's Excuse-Me" and skip backwards to supply the missing J - whoever gets it will then proceed to L.
Sound ok? I have a J all ready..."...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..."

Poor Mrs Flay - I was roasting some nuts last night (don't ask) and she managed to pick the oven dish up in her bare hand. So her poor thumb is blistered, allowing me to escape.Originally posted by Caliban View PostCurse you to blazes Flay, you disappear for ages and then pop up with a casual solution while I'm labouring to prepare a careful bowl of coleslaw
Mrs Flay has allowed you out from under her thumb, then?

Strange bloke Josef Krips innit - time & again one reads about how loathed he was by orchestral players & soloists alike who found him bad tempered and foul-mouthed and generally vile. But he persuaded them to give some wonderful performances recorded for posterity - why would they do that for a man who was so apparently loathsome?Originally posted by Flay View PostJosef Krips
From 1951-1954 Principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra.
1954-1963 - Music Director to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
1963-1970 - Music Director to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
1970-1973 - Principal conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
Josef Krips' younger brother Henry Krips was the chief conductor of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in Australia for 23 seasons, 1949-1972.
Praps our orchestral colleagues can provide an insight or two

Perhaps they were grateful for still having a job?Arriving in San Francisco for his first concert on November 29, 1963, Krips did not follow the pattern of sacking half the orchestra with the objective of improvement. However, with each new hire, he sought that "...each new hire should show himself at least twice as good as whom he replaced"Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

Yes because J eluded Mercia (see #26364)... So perhaps it was Mercia who performed the Excuse-Me, leaving me with a Caliban-Flip.Originally posted by Flay View Post
So J then. She links Jonas, Judith, Esther and a sleepy Odysseus"...the isle is full of noises,

Good point, Ammy - I didn't know that. I just know that his Moart Symphonies with the Concertgebouw are about as good as it gets, and it all sounds so sunny and laid-back.Originally posted by amateur51 View PostStrange bloke Josef Krips innit - time & again one reads about how loathed he was by orchestral players & soloists alike who found him bad tempered and foul-mouthed and generally vile.
