Alphabet associations - I

[Don Petter]

You're right... is that what Pan & Syrinx is about? Not a piece I know.

That's enough Neilsen (Ed.)

The alphabetical funsters await with baited breath...

It's no good fishing for an answer yet! (ITYM bated?)

[rubbernecker]

I still think Pan and Syrinx (flute and reed) were as good an answer for doubly-windy as the real one.

I would say better, Don

so wait a moment or two while I compose for your communal delectation ...

Just remember, we've had Orff and Ondine...

Good Lord, you're right - 'bated' as in 'abated'... I don't know that I've ever used that phrase in writing before - I lazily assumed it was 'baited' i.e. prepared, eager for a bite.. But 'bated' makes more sense, for shallow, tense breathing.

I'm sure that (unlike my substantive error), your " i'ts " was a mere typo...

[Don Petter]

Here we go - Here's your O!

What early songster emerges once a conservatory feline is chased by noisy mischief-makers?

[Norfolk Born]

That's enough Neilsen (Ed.)

OK, how about some Nielsen, then?

Damn! Didn't think you'd seen that before I fixed it. The biter bit, indeed!

[Don Petter]

Guilty as charged, as well.

(I was just copying 'im, 'onest, Guv.)

[Nick Armstrong]

DOH! Whoops... Serves me right for being too busy correcting others.

Time to move on, I think!!!

I am wounded, rubbers....

I am still smarting from your (possibly defamatory) suggestion that I spend my time pleasuring myself with Edward German and Arthur Sullivan, so let's just call it quits

Well, seeing that what you might get up to with Aribert defies even my imagination ... ok then...

[Don Petter]

Come, now, you two. We've all been to some dodgy G & S evenings in our youth?

My dad used to direct them Sitting through rehearsals of Ruddigore and Princess Ida features among my earliest musical memories! Quite good pieces, acually...

We digress. ".. conservatory feline... " ???

I was thinking 'Lyon'

No, afraid not. I'm going out for a meal with some friends shortly. When I return I shall probably be mellow enough to give some slight clue, should it be required.
