      How right you are!

      Also about Ysaÿe (apart from the spelling)! Easy coleslaw - I just listed 4 of his compositions.

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              It's Aphrodite, isn't it? Goddess of Lurrrrve....

              William Alwyn wrote 'Aphrodite in Aulis - an eclogue after George Moore' for small orchestra in 1932
              George Chadwick wrote 'Aphrodite - A Symphonic Fantasy' in 1910
              Demis Roussos emerged from a prog rock group called Aphrodite's Child (as did Vangelis)...

                    I can get the first, that is easy-peasey, but I think you are a wee bit smoke and mirrors with the rest? Anyway. It's way past midnight so Goodnight until the morrow.

                        You're such a party animal.

                          Tennessee's third city is Knoxville, which to me suggests Samuel Barber, but I don't suppose that's relevant?

                              Well, that's me knocked out of the running. I got Knoxville = Barber but my further Barber links have now proved to be wrong!
