Little Richard?

No, no rock 'n roll. Take a certain walk in Hollywood

Rugby first half exciting, will look in again at full-time.

[Anna]

OK, sorry distracted by the match, and don't even ask me about the last 3 minues! <fume emoticon>

So, we have an American, in the Hollywood Walk of Fame and 4 song titles. His name could also signify hidden meanings. Now, what is the most famous Route that you know?

The number of the little beast?

The number of the little beast?

Mercia was here a minute ago and when I went to answer - whoosh! - he'd vanished!!!! And he had part of the answer. Yes, rubbers, numbers are involved, televisually-wise

[rubbernecker]

Mercia was here a minute ago and when I went to answer - whoosh! - he'd vanished!!!!

Yes, he tends to do that. And sometimes he goes back through the thread and deletes his old posts for some reason.

Anyway, I'm trying to think of a reason I wouldn't want to go down Route 66 and I can't think of one. In fact I have driven down Route 66 and even had my hair cut by one of its famous late incumbents.

You wouldn't want to go down Route 66 if you and your girlfriend had been drinking I guess? And, if you had blue eyes?

Got the cricket back on now, was hoping to see highlights on Channel 5 but I can't get it as I don't subscribe to Sky <another fume emoticon>

Edit: I don't want to get in trouble for obscure clues. You are looking for an arranger, composer, orchestrator and band leader.

I'd just claim she was driving

I already discounted Nelson Riddle some time back, so I think I'll leave this one for now....

Why did you do that rubbers?

[rubbernecker]

Why did you do that rubbers?

Because his discography (with him as the featured artist) included such delights as:
1957 Hey... Let Yourself Go
1959 Sing a Song with Riddle
1961 Magic Moments from "The Gay Life"
1962 Route 66 Theme and Other Great TV Hits
1962 Love is a Game of Poker



and I couldn't find anything to fit the clues which is why I gave up. And have given up. And must go. So don't try to lure me back with your alluring country-girl come-ons

[Anna]

Well, what do we do now? After congratulations on my Kaddish I seem to have set the most carp question in the history of AA. I wouldn't attempt to lure you, you know that!

Yes, it's Nelson Riddle (hidden meaning = riddle)
And we have the theme to Route 66 tv series, which won him loads of awards.
So, we have a girl with a nice smile (possibly enigmatic)
Someone ordering drinks before he drives
A lady described as something
Not with him as featured artist (singer) hence I said Blue Eyes (well for two of them)

If anyone can find titles fitting the clues, then the S is yours. Otherwise I am going into the garden to eat worms.

'Mona Lisa' and 'Route 66' both suggest Nat King Cole, BUT 'Nancy with the Laughing Face' and/or 'One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)' both suggest Frank Sinatra, as indeed does (Ol') Blue Eyes.
Right, it's back to last week's Wallander, which isn't half as puzzling!

No, Ofca. It's Mona Lisa (Nat King Cole) and Sinatra (One for my Baby, and One more for the Road.) You are no longer Confused of Felixstowe! Oh, the other one was The Lady is a Tramp (also Sinatra) So, I hand you the S, in your own time, no hurry, I will be offline anyway.

Apologies for rubbish puzzle. I will now watch Casualty. It couldn't be more of a car crash could it than my puzzle!!

Caliban will indeed be in for a treat when he watches the omni

Got about 40 minutes left to go, sitting down with a c of t having just returned from a giant team trip to Tesco...

John/Colin is loitering behind bedroom doors... Tense...

Which S links two areas of New York and a form of transportation? The link word occurs in all three elements.
