            That's a good thought

            Guess we'll have to wait and see...

                    Clue 1 - think Edward not Franz
                    Clue 2 - they are 2 of 4

                    Now you could be on song.

                    I will shortly be off-line until this afternoon.

                      Ravel being cosmopolitan
                      anything spring to mind ?

                      haven't linked a Janice and Tim together (except in some '70s group called The Archers)

                        Have been pondering as far as time permits... and on Edward rather than Franz... and "No noon"... Does that mean the same as "not noon" I wonder... so maybe Midnight? Um Mitternacht - Edward Mörike, not as set by Franz Schubert - but the poem itself..

                        That's as far as I've got...

                          You need to be thinking of an English Composer, an American vocal group and Ravel all of whom are associated with works with the C word on the card.

                              does this group include Janice and Tim ?

                              EDIT - I think there may be a Janis and Tim in Manhattan Transfer



                              EDIT EDIT - I have a horribly slow connection today, making playing this game almost impossible
