Alphabet associations - I

[mercia]

how are we getting on ?

[Resurrection Man]

Ah, vox

Trevor Wishart developed the Vox cycle.

Naylor Vox Dicentis

Organ stop Vox


and guessing

George Harrison played a Vox amplifier ? He used a variety of Gretsch guitars, including a Gretsch Duo Jet - his first Gretsch, which he bought in 1961 second hand off a sailor in Liverpool

[mercia]

well done, resurrection, I can't deny it to you

I hand in mind the organ stop Vox Humana [but I'm sure others are available] and George Enescu and his Vox Maris

indeed Vox Dicentis and the Vox Cycle


can you waylay us with a W ?

[Resurrection Man]

Oh damn! My alphabet soup got mixed up and I had an X already in anticipation that I might have solved your V !

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh damn! My alphabet soup got mixed up

Been there, got the t-shirt. I recall setting a J after getting a K, to the general derision of all in attendance At least you realised in time, RM

[mercia]

well you have solved my V, so that's alright then

let's have an X

[Nick Armstrong]

All present and correct mercs but I have to point out you were 3 minutes late I did say 02.47

Would have been a nice little result had you nipped down Bill Hill's and put a tenner on 2.45 - 2.50 for mercia's appearance!

Back to the Conference for the delegate from Lincoln's Inn?

No indeed... 'twas Saturday only, fortunately. I woke up at 'work time' then retired again for some lazy CD Review listening

[Resurrection Man]

A W to link a piano, a pianist, a banned opera and a blasphemer, please.

[Anna]

I came up with Weill for having a banned opera and, I think he could be linked to blasphemy, but got no further than that. Sorry. But I did look at it and have a think!

[Resurrection Man]

The nationalities involved (but in no particular order) are an American Hungaro-czech, a Pole and two Germans.

EDIT: My apologies...looks like bad writing misled me for the first nationality and shifting national boundaries/new countries being 'born'. Easiest to say that he was born in Austria.

[Resurrection Man]

Piano...bit of a mongrel but the 'real' ones are German

Polish pianist ..

Composer born in Austria

The banned opera written by a German (who's birthplace is the same as the piano!)

[mercia]

I think when I first looked I came up with a couple of Wilhelms including the piano company Wilhelm Schimmel

not much time to research at the moment ................

[mercia]

now I find a Polish pianist called Juliusz Wertheim, and a piano company called Wertheim, oh bother they're Australian

is the W the surname of the pianist and composer ?

you wouldn't think there were that many piano manufacturers beginning with W

[mercia]

was this opera banned by the nasty nazies or somebody else ?

oh well, at least I'm trying

I've been scooting down this avenue with scant success on & off, mercs
