Alphabet associations - I

[Anna]

Still hunting around, with an agreeably slack Sunday brain...

There's no answer to that is there except too much FG? Only just looked at the puzzle, immediately thought Frank Bridge, then A Bridge Too Far, and Frank Jarvis the actor, then Jarvis Cocker. Then, a sudden inkling, are Ammy's roots showing?

Very sorry to be so late back. My dear, the queue at Waitrose

My roots are certainly showing, Anna - nicely done. Pray proceed

Ammy, I'm having une petite crise nerveuse in the kitchen at the moment - you know, one of those Sunday afternoons make it up as you go along and I think I may have totally messed it up and would have no time to set the next.

So, since I have provided a clue, think of me as a kindly Beacon whose warm glow welcomes home those tired sailors adrift on the sea of AA to a safe harbour ....

Has Caliban been de-briefed (a chair for Anna, someone!) about his luncheon at Hawksmoor - a detailed review of the food, the service, the wine list, the ambience (inc state of the lavs - my mother was always very keen on hearing about that ) and which branch (praps the new one in Air Street?) ... and who was paying should suffice for the moment

Blimey lead kindly Beacon, eh?

Good luck with your crise nerveuse

As for the rest of you - you're going to have to buck your ideas up if you're going to keep up with this chap

I shall be going out for the evening at 17:00.

The J in question is a surname very common in UK particularly the part that Anna & I are from

Actually, to be totally factual, you are North and I am South, never the twain shall meet and you North Walians always sound German with your funny accents!! But, shall we throw Dylan into the melting pot? I think we should.
Goodness Ams, a really poor set of dabs trying to solve this!
Whereby you going then?

Orf to some friends for fish pie.

South Walians sound like they're from Bangalore but I'd never say that (not fair on the Bangalorians, after all )

[antongould]

Good news all round, Caliban

Twelve symphonies, eight string quartets, an overture to youth, and part of a bridge celebration - what J connects them?

I have found a Jones but Wiki says he wrote a baker's dozen symphonies?

I'm sure you're right, anton - saved by the bell, I am!

Daniel Jones, great pal of Dylan Thomas, wrote 13 symphonies (apparently) eight string quartets and took part in a joint project with other composers to celebrate the Severn Bridge.

And of that huge output, how many are to be heard on British or even world-wide airwaves, concert halls etc?

Over to you, anton, OK?

Oh, and Richard Burton came from Mumbai!
Seems like Anton has got it ...
Edit. cross posting.
I shall now attend to the kitchen disaster .. which might well be OK. Anyway, loggin off
