Look carefully at my previous reply.

Look carefully at my previous reply.

anything goes? anything, cranberries

So it's not a word which relates to music, has nothing to do with classical music, possibly all three elements are the same word but possibly not but it begins with an 'A' either severally or jointly, or in part or in whole.

Phew! I'm glad I'm not playing

Same here, Anna!

in the musical Annie Get Your Gun, Annie claims "Anything you can do, I can do better"

so A = Anything

Good to see you here. Welcome back. Yes, of course. You have all the parts, so you have the B now.

If I do another clue later on I'll try to stick mostly to classical music which might make it easier, though the preceding Zipoli was quite tough,
and I have to say I'd never heard of him before.

[mercia]

You have all the parts

damn, I wasn't going to play this game again

give me a while for B .......................where's that list Anna ? ...................

[mercia]

easy googling I think
a B to connect

- celestial Olivier
- lutenist John's son
- beggars label

[Tapiola]

mercia,

Congratulations on the A - I was completely floundering. My brain was not looking for anything as abstract as Anything.

As for B:

Banquet?

Messiaen's Banquet Celeste
Robert Dowland's Musical Banquet
Beggars Banquet record label.

[mercia]

Banquet?

well done, Taps, a complete & comprehensive answer
couldn't have got anything without Dave's clue
your turn I guess

[Tapiola]

Merci mercia.

A straightforward C methinks:

What C links musical works by Birtwistle and 10CC splitters, and a film directed by Richard Attenborough?

(sobs)

[Tapiola]

Out with it, Ofca!

[Norfolk Born]

Like a fellow Forum member, I swore blind I'd never play this dreadful game again....
Oh well....
The Cry of Anubis
Cry (Godley & Creme)
Cry Freedom

I have to log off for a couple of hours, so I'll check back round about 14.30 hours (BST ). I do have a 'D' ready, as it happens.

[Anna]

I do have a 'D' ready, as it happens.

AHA!! And you said you weren't playing .......... You couldn't resist Taps' siren call! Mercia mentioned the list, I do have it but I think as there has been quite a long gap we don't really need it. However, could someone take over as Archivist for the new game?
