              Many Thanks, but I'm out at a concert all day tomorrow (courtesy Flay #27750 ) - so, if someone else would step in, I'll be very grateful and do the honours on Sunday or whenever needed later.

                Had me going then....

                I've got a quick B ... I won't be here for 2 or 3 hours now to stir the pot, but at least it keeps things on the simmer

                This B links Sweden with Los Angeles and Paris's Latin Quarter
                "...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..."

                    Well I'm glad I inspired ferney to an productive away-day

                    I suspect Calibs is referring to the Père Lachaise Cemetery, following his recent Parisian sojourn.

                            Jussi Björling (a Swede) and Victoria de los Angeles sang in Sir Thomas Beecham's recording of Puccini's La bohème set in Paris

                            So is it Beecham, bohème or Björling

                              I hadn't thought of that!!

                              It was Björling on the card.... he was the Swede... but you are right...

                              .... so it is thrice your C, and make mine a treble, Entwistle!!

                                What C wrote an opera set in a town made famous by Bizet and van Gogh, based on a play written by someone who wrote letters from his windmill; but had greater success with an opera based on the life of a French actress, latterly with La Stupenda; and chummied up to the original Fascist for artistic purposes?
