Gasp.... What a busy day. And Mrs Flay still has more on her list!

On flay's question, Robert Le Diable links to Meyerbeer.

So it does

A foreteller could be a mystic.

Amongst others...

[antongould]

Flay: Meyerbeer - L'Etoile du Nord, Le Prophete, Robert le Diable

Lats: Maltese - Charles Camilleri (born in/on Malta - the indigenous folk music of which is called "Ghana"!); Adolph Deutsch - composer for The Maltese Falcon (Buffalo was a Cinema Theatre?); Joseph Calleja - Maltese Tenor who honoured Martina Arroyo at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, appearing with Snoop Dogg.

Scary - no one else in Spennymoor could have done this ......

Welcome home Rumpole - I guess your H will be Howells???

Adolf Deutsch.

Yes.

Absolutely brilliant.

Malta or Maltese or Maltesers - sweeties so links to M and Ms.

Deutsch began as a Buffalo house musician which was essentially a term for providing music to silent films.

Camilleri incorporated the indigenous folk music - known as "Ghana" - in his own - and Obama attended the Calleja/Dogg tribute to Arroyo.

You are right in every other particular.

Scary - no one else in Spennymoor could have done this ......

N next!

I go out for the day and AA nouveau goes bananas. I like the enthusiasm, maybe there are withdrawal symptoms following the break but can we agree to a Johnny Cash approach. No not a Ring Of Fire just One Piece at a time. Let's all Walk the Line.

No not a Ring Of Fire just One Piece at a time. Let's all Walk the Line.

Is that a clue for the Next letter?

Now Cali's back in the frame - the relaunch is on!

[Flay]

That's interesting:

[The poet-diplomat] Pablo Neruda was a close advisor to Chile's socialist President Salvador Allende. When Neruda returned to Chile after his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Allende invited him to read at the Estadio Nacional before 70,000 people.

Neruda was hospitalised with cancer at the time of the coup d'état led by Augusto Pinochet but returned home after 5 days when he suspected a doctor of injecting him in the stomach with an unknown substance for the purpose of murdering him at the order of Pinochet. Neruda died in his house in Isla Negra on 23 September 1973 six and a half hours after that injection. Although it has always been reported that he died of prostate cancer/heart failure, on November 5, 2015 the Interior Ministry of the Chilean government issued a statement acknowledging a Ministry document from March of that year indicating the government's official position that it was clearly possible and highly likely that he was killed as a result of the intervention of third parties. Pinochet, backed by elements of the armed forces, denied permission for Neruda's funeral to be made a public event. However, thousands of grieving Chileans disobeyed the curfew and crowded the streets.

Il Postino appears to be a charming film (Flay is distracted again from his daily chore list!)

But perhaps it isn't the film because of the Sunday reference. Does Johann Baptist Georg Neruda feature in ferney's conundrum? (Not that I can associate him)
