He waved a baton there.

Andrew Litton?

He waved a baton there.

Andrew Davis conducted the Toronto Symphony for a while. Sorry if this is a red-herring, haven't been able to follow AA today due to work, but it seems as if it might be relevant...

[Flay]

We're all arriving here after work like poachers, wanting to grab the easy pickings after others have done the hard work. C'est la vie

[cloughie]

It sounds like Ottawa or Ontario

Yes but which - you should state!

Sir Andrew it is.

I have to go out now - looks like a combined effort - P off as you wish!

True enough, Mr F... Although I like to think of it as being helpful rather than poaching

Alanis Morissette was born in Ottawa which is in Ontario
Angela Mary Hewitt was born on July 26, 1958 in Ottawa, Ontario - her father was the Cathedral organist in Ottawa
If Calibs is correct then we have Sir Andrew Davis, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra's Conductor Laureate - that's Ontario

So I vote for Ontario

Oops, I missed cloughie's posting. Would you like me to take the P?

[Flay]

Let me poach the P that associates a mallet, a nightingale, and a corageous Chicago prodigy

[Nick Armstrong]

corageous

Clue or trypoe?

[Flay]

A total Mrs-Flay-was-on-my-back tripo

courageous

[Flay]

... Although I could say "cor" about one of my three...

Do you want it in black and white? The mallet was used to silence a singer....

Twas indeed Ontario - but now you hopped over Lake Michigan I haven't a clue - the only link I have between a P and a nightingale is Gene Puerling who made a great vocal arrangement of that particular bird that performed vocally in Berkeley Square. He had previously worked with the Hi-Los and Singers Unlimited but I digress. But then I'm probably very wide of the mark.

[Flay]

Probably. This nightingale was noted for a record.

Glad you are back from choir practice, cloughie, it was getting lonesome here.
