Alphabet associations - I

[Anna]

can't think why I didn't google Ethel the Frog 2 in the first place
anyway, once I did it gave me a track list including Apple of your Eye
Apple Pie's debut album is called Crossroad
and Rossini's last opera was William Tell

Oh, how spooky. If I posted the Z answer, my A would also have been Apple and one of my clues would have been:

It ain't a Big Mac (geddit, No, it's an Apple Mac!!) Sorry, great minds and all.

[Anna]

so why didn't you? busy in the kitchen again?

Yes, sorry, Moroccan feast, entertaining. Probably look in around 11pm

Let's be slightly pedantic:

.... and your word is .....

Apple Pie are ....

Would have been good to work the Piranha Brothers in too, but there's a limit.

Looks like you're going to claim the B - well done.

[mercia]

.... and your word is .....

Apple?

Apple Pie are/is a Russian progressive rock band? whatever that means

[Dave2002]

Absolutely! Now for your B.

[mercia]

a B to connect

- June
- Sir Joseph arrives
- out of doors
- G I Blues

[Dave2002]

Barcarole?

HMS Pinafore?

[Angle]

If you arrived in Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, Caliban, you will have found the city bathed in golden sunshine and witnessed an excellent sunset over the sea. I hope you enjoy your visit.

I am afraid that I cannot get too involved in the puzzles for the time-being. Life is full of comings and goings without the time to settle for very long. However, all the best to everyone.

[Dave2002]

Tonight is so right for love (G I Blues) uses a barcarole tune - maybe from Offenbach, perhaps indirectly.

Sir joseph Porter - also apparently a barcarole in HMS Pinafore

June - Tchaikosky Seasons - similarly

[antongould]

Brilliant Dave

[mercia]

Barcarole?

HMS Pinafore?

Indeed, B = Barcarolles, well done Dave - I suddenly thought it might be an impossible question
HMS Pinafore, Tchaikovsky's The Seasons, Offenbach / Tonight is so right for love
since you've gone to so much trouble, the last one is the Barcarolla from Bartok's Out of doors piano set

Dave's turn again, with C

[Dave2002]

Mercia

Sorry - I didn't mean to miss one out. I didn't get the Bartok.

Oh well - here goes with C

Bambi
Trust?
A dance comes before, then something serious
Won't you dance?

[Dave2002]

mercia

Sorry, no - or at least not as far as I'm aware.

[Dave2002]

Yes. (I'm trying not to make it too easy!)

[antongould]

Like Mercia trying to find a way in - other than Frank Churchill wrote the score for Bambi and committed suicide at the piano I am lost!
