Yes, we took the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Jasper. It is simply amazing following the immense Fraser River upstream, going from temperate rain forest to virtual desert in the course of one day. We spent last night in Kamloops. We dined in a steakhouse while the band played Duelling Banjos...Originally posted by cloughie View Post
Later on somebody asked Mrs Flay for a dance. Allegedly on nodding over to me he asked her why she was with "that idiot" (actually he used a stronger word
) 
This amused her greatly because just over 30 years ago in a similar situation she was dancing with somebody who asked her exactly the same question.
She still cannot answer it!
We are now in the mountains of Jasper and have collected our hire car.
Now to feed the grizzlies...

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Pondering this in particular:
and noticing that I don't think anton gave us an answer to this query....
this is true ......apologies ...Dmitri wasn't part of the question on the answer's previous appearance...........Dmitri wasn't JimmyGreavesed.....Comment

so D is a composer who completed/finished works by a Claude and a Franz
and Dmitri's surname {?} appears in the title of an original work by D
but we still don't know if Claude is Debussy, or Franz is Liszt or Dmitri is ShostakovichComment
