    No, Flay was right - page 1000... (soon 10,000 postings)

      But a teasing M from ferne would equally be most welcome

        Pages depends on your settings. I have 20 posts to a page, so we are on page 500 when I look at it.

              ps I didn't know there were page setting options. It seems Flay and I have the default 10 per page.

                I owe an M? Try this:

                An act of piping for what sounds like a tramp.
                A composer's set of prayers for Sir Mick, perhaps?
                Just stones from a writer by nature.

                All joined by the same M.

                Best Wishes.

                  Something by Haydn, documented by 'Hobo Ken'?

                    My compliments to Don for that amusing jeu de mots give me posting 10,000 I think!

                    Hoboken was my H, but a few letters ago...

                    I'm thinking stones... Sir Mick is therefore Jagger... ???

                      Genius!
                      Stick with "Hobo", though.

                      I'm off out now 'til about four-ish.

                          Sir Mick - Sir Michael Tippett? Magnificat?

                          Just thinking out loud.

                            Morris? (William Morris based something on part of Ruskin's Stones of Venice').

                              Stevie Wonder's original surname was Morris, and he toured with the Rolling Stones.

                                Flay: Oboe, yes; Tippett, no.

                                Norf: Morris is off course, but fascinating info about Stevie Wonder.
