    Just back online and finished chattering about chocolate (Anna, q.v.)... And I see that Northo is within a spoonful of wolfing this F down...
    "...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..."

      Aha! Prokofiev's ballet "Chout"?

        Huzzah! Yes, Ivan the Fool by Alexander Tchereprin from the story by Leo Tolstoy (as opposed to Ivan the Terrible by Prokofiev)
        Holst - The Perfect Fool
        A creamy dessert - Gooseberry Fool
        And the other I threw in expecting BBM to put a toe in the water - Michael Finnissy's Tom Fool's Wooing (choral for 14 voices)
        So, Northy has disproved the old saying that Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread and, I have even supplied my own coleslaw.
        Over to northy for a G that'll hit the spot!

                  Surely Gooseberry Fool is a song by Kinky Machine?!!

                          Can we assume that somebody who made a move into Wizzardry is Roy Wood, ex-Move, ex-ELO?

                            So, not G, G or even G, then?

                              I am astonished by your lateral thinking, Anna! (I'm green with envy)
