Vinteuil has it but I'm not sure about the Doc - I think this is a re-appearance of our old friend the vaquero, americanised to 'buckeroo', who according to Copland had a H-h-h-h-h-h-holiday..."...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..."

One up to Sal, up yours Kev...

Yup! Copland's 'Buckaroo Holiday' and the film 'Summer Holiday'. Vinteuil's 'Holiday Suite' clearly fills the bill, but the work I have in mind has a different second word. I'd like to offer you and Vinteuil the chance to get the decider by offering this clue: the third work is associated with my part of the world, and was written by somebody born close to the dwelling place of another regular contributor to this Forum (but not this thread).Comment

Well...Sally is claiming half the £200K on the grounds that they were still married when he bought it, but the scriptwriters kind of set that story on one side yesterday. Watch out for three really cracking lines in Monday's episodes: I'll just say Carla/Krankies (ca. 1933), and Norris/Mayflies followed swiftly by Graham/Beefeaters (ca. 2043).Originally posted by Caliban View Post

A futher clue to the third part of 'H': who would have been 98 later this year?Comment

Yes! Now we just need to sort out who gets to set 'I' after that splendid team effort. I guess Vinteuil has a strong claim, as he got the linking word, one of the works concerned, and a valid alternative to a second.Originally posted by mercia View Post
EDIT: You probably guessed that the regular contributor to whom I referred was Suffolk Coastal, who I believe lives in Lowestoft, which was BB's birthplace.Comment

Well, I don't care what has happened to Kevin's £200 grand. (You do realise it's all make believe?) On the otherhand, I have been glued to the latest episode of Silk!!Comment

Silk was a bit rubbish this week, I thought!!Originally posted by Anna View Post
It was ok till the end of the trial (although that was a bit silly). But all the shennanigans in Chambers afterwards:
They even forgot to follow through and say which pupil had got the job!

What has this Sicilian got to do with this Englishman's take on the Mexican-Peruvian wars or this Frenchman's portrayal of America?Comment
