Has anybody mentioned Janis Ian yet in this confusing session?

Yes Norfs, Caliban did in #10805

[Flay]

Right, you asked for it. Here goes:

What K links a black roller skater, two moods, and a leisurely American island?

[Nick Armstrong]

a leisurely American island?

I'm thinking Key Largo (leisurely tempo) but can't connect that with anything else...

[Flay]

Bull's eye

How about the others?

[subcontrabass]

Bull's eye

How about the others?

Moods: low-key high-key ???

[Flay]

Moods: low-key high-key ???

Sort of but not quite

[Nick Armstrong]

Bull's eye

How about the others?

Nope ... can't connect... Re: moods, thinking 'In a sentimental mood'... 'In the mood'... 'Mood indigo' .... No keys...

[Flay]

It was types of keys purveying moods. Never mind.

As for the black skater: not referring to race. Think (in usual Flay style , don't ask me why) about a pop song

So keys: major & minor...

But pop songs: I'm very bad at 'popular beat combos' ... being in the law an' all, and a learned friend of His Honour Mr Justice Cocklecarrot...

The only relevant thing I can come up with off the top of my wig is singer and producer Alicia Keys... but why roller skating?

[Anna]

Alicia Keys is to co-producert a Broadway play about black America.

The 30-year-old said she was "passionate" about Lydia R Diamond's Stick Fly because it "portrays black America in a way that we don't often get to see in entertainment".

The comedy tells of an affluent family who come together for a weekend at Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.

nighty, nignt sweetheart!

You were up late, hispi-chops!! Have a good night too!

Mr Flay looks to be online still... I'm curious to know the answer!!!

We were all up too late last night. Mrs Flay had been out for a meal with the girlfriends and I was Mr Taxi. They were too comfy and did not leave the restaurant until well after 12

Spot on as ever, Anna. As I said, it is not about race. It's all in a name. And a shining example of a K

Perhaps it's Anno Domini, but I find it increasingly difficult to discover when or whether a question has been answered and we're due another one...

I know what you mean. Here, I got one element quickly: Key West. We floundered for a bit and my latest shout was that the 'two moods' in the question meant that the second element is 'major and minor keys' - could you confirm if that is right or wrong, Flay?

For the remaining element, I suggested Alicia Keys which seems to be wrong: could you confirm, Flay? If so, we are still looking for that - it's a "name, and a shining example of a key"? Right?
