One din

ouch !!

I wish I had the sort of brain that could see that from a mile off

well done Anton

[vinteuil]

...

Now to ponder who won...

well -

Anna found Charles Aznavour
Amateur got Omaggio a Joyce
ofcachap identified the Berberian - Armenian connection
Mercia got Khachaturian
antongould couldn't believe it was the Onedin Line (theme music by Khachaturian)

I suggest it was ofca who made the breakthrough here, and so he should B the winner...

[antongould]

Sounds fair.

[amateur51]

Morning each!

Sounds very fair - Ofca done well - I was nowhere near this one

[Nick Armstrong]

... I'm afraid you're right - the one-dimensional singular noise I had in mind was indeed -

The One din Line

(groan).

Now to ponder who won...

I was so very, very far from ever being able to link that question with that answer and link that with "Armenian" as the common "A" !!

You have a most complex and interesting cast of mind, Monsieur Vinteuil.... I hope for the world's sake you never turn to crime!!

One Din (boom!boom! ). B coming up shortly.

[Norfolk Born]

Some, originally from 'over there', were 'over here' at a time when we needed something to look forward to; one was reported to be airborne while entranced; and one landed close to somebody's ear. What B am I referring to?

[mercia]

'over there'

the USA?

[Anna]

the USA?

I thought the same (from the WW1 song - the Yanks are Coming) so perhaps we are thinking WW2(something to look forward to) connections with The Blitz, perhaps Marc Blitzstein? He wrote The Airborne Symphony.

Edit: I'm sure that's wrong and I find I have to go offline now for an hour or so

[Norfolk Born]

Yes, the USA. And yes, WW2, but not exclusively the Blitz.

[mercia]

I'm wondering if B is going to be bands or bandleaders

[amateur51]

I'm wondering if B is going to be bands or bandleaders

Ooooh I like your line of thinking, mercia

[Norfolk Born]

I'm wondering if B is going to be bands or bandleaders

I'm afraid not.

[amateur51]

I'm afraid not.

B-b-budgerigar!

[Norfolk Born]

That sort of language may well lead you to the answer!
