Alphabet associations - I

[Norfolk Born]

The other area of New York is associated with tall guys performing slam dunks (among many other things, of course).

[antongould]

Does that give us Harlem Shuffle?

anyway
Riverboat Shuffle by the grumpy Hoagy and Mitchell Parish who also did the lyrics to the wonderful Stardust and
Wall Street Shuffle by 10cc.

[Norfolk Born]

It does indeed - well done, you've got all three.
Harlem Shuffle was written by Bob and Earl and recorded by The Rolling Stones among others.
Over to you for 'T' (served in the garden perhaps? )

[antongould]

I'll do one if you can wait a while - I will attempt not to act like or include a dead sheep!

[antongould]

Quicker than promised

What T hopefully links the sleepy rural paradises of

Ath
Accrington and
Ciboure

All with I am sure yowes grazing on the knowes!

[antongould]

....all musical

[mercia]

er, well as far as I can see the best known thing about Ciboure is that Ravel was born there. Ath in Belgium seems to be known for festivities involving giants like Samson, Goliath and the like. There was a huge gas explosion there in 2004 and amongst others it was the birthplace of the soprano Fanny Heldy who once appeared in Ravel's L'heure espagnole as Concepcion. Accrington is the birthplace of amongst others Harrison Birtwistle. No connective Ts jumping out at me yet but I shall persevere.

[antongould]

Given that level of effort I would most of the seeds are in there!

[antongould]

It I were to throw in Chaumes-en-Brie?

[vinteuil]

It I were to throw in Chaumes-en-Brie?

well, Chaumes-en-Brie is where the Couperins came from. I never knew they ever had anything to do with Accrington...

[vinteuil]

...

[antongould]

But with Ravel?

[vinteuil]

if that means you know the answer, please put me out of my misery

... think Ravel, think Couperin...

[vinteuil]

if that means you know the answer, please put me out of my misery

... think Birtwistle, think Stravinsky...

[antongould]

I have to leave for a while - V obviously has the answer probably the total thing but M did get the keys I.e. Ravel and Birtwhistle - quite happy for either of U or anyone to proceed!
