When do we get to the next letter?

You read about the recorded cow bells before, rubbers but the golden yoof and his hammer is new to these boards

I'm eking out my gems here, tha knows.

That Caliban is copying them all down for the after-dinner circuit he's on, entertaining Rotarians and Zaroastrians or whatever they're called

oh God no... no circuit, I - I always imagine those do's being stuffed with the same sort of leaden pomposity and superciliousness that burdens a few of the more serious threads on Platform 3

I'm just audience, Ams, when it comes to your gems. As I recall, the first telling of the recorded cow-bell story featured some other flaxen haired Teutonic youths who had the horn rather than the hammer - a comely brass section, if my memory serves me correctly?

I quite understand. You don't want to be revealin' yer jewels all in one go

When do we get to the next letter?

A brilliant question, Angle and one which I venture can only be answered by Mr. Mercia, although he has deferred to Mr. Ofca who is presently ensconsed with Mahler 6 in the belief that he has deferred to Mr. Mercia. We're all so polite, y'see....

You do have an eye for detail, Caliban

And while we're off-piste, here is, in my opinion, the finest after-dinner speaker in '70s Cheshire ...

He's worth it Caliban - St John's Ambulance are on stand-by if you listen to his audience

Oh, I log off and the F is sorted. Who gets the G. Ams?

There's an old internet joke:

The last train to Blanket Bay () has just pulled into the station and I must catch it - no siesta again today!

I shall leave you with:

a) A lively dance

b) A new slant in your printing

c) Five contemporary musicians altogether

d) A composer associated early on with a musician whose development had been arrested

What G connects them?

Are you going to let on where this masterly underpricing took place?
I found it at the Cancer Research shop in our local high street. (They also had a Bruckner 8th conducted by Karajan - not my cup of tea).
It's a truly wonderful performance, recorded in 2006: full-blooded and passionate, but disciplined throughout with not a sign of indulgence. Brilliant contributions from Sabine Meyer and other principals. Two hammer blows, delivered by a large wooden mallet striking a wooden crate. The passage immediately before the final 'descent to the pit' was mesmerizing, and the last few bars truly shattering. There was a prolonged silence before the well deserved ovation.
