What a cracking obit, thanks! One reads it and wonders whether it's not a spoof, until one remembers that Fisty did indeed marry Mahler's daughter...

Can't play your clever game but great to read about Fistoulari. He came into the music library in the 40s and 50s and always spread his arms wide and said "ME, I am Fistooooolari". A great character.

Excuse intrusion please

Great to have you back, Anna. South coast of where?:

Ams, Brighton. Home of the psychotic seagulls and, the Gay Capitol of the South. Anyway, tremendous fun. I came back with a Jarvis Cocker (bought at a market for £2) and some Halva. And a tan. And, oh, I met the grandson of the songwriter who wrote Nellie the Elephant and Run Rabbit Run and half the Gilbert & Sullivan chorus boys!!
