I would never have got anywhere close without merc's finding Oscar Peterson - or, for that matter your L.L. "prompt".
If merc and/or subby pass, can I "pause" to work an R out? Borgen is imminent![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

I think it's yours by rights, as you chipped away and got a pianist, and grabbed the Q-word along the way. But a Saturday evening pause is a great idea, the pace has seemed quite hectic today! I'm off out shortly anyway. Do report on Borgen: I'm recording the episodesOriginally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post

Watched the first episode this evening, recorded the second. Who would have thought that an hour devoted to Danish politics could be so gripping?

I'll give it a whirl later. You didn't miss the gruesomely-murdered corpses? Any chunky knitwear on view? I suspect not...Originally posted by Norfolk Born View Post

I greatly enjoyed it - once I'd worked out that Ole Dahl's death was a heart attack and not a murder! Quite cheeky wit, throughout, too.
But back to my Rs:
Toru's piece which should begin again
Michael's profoundly childish excerpt
and a crumby temporal piece emporal piece ral piece
A posy linked by which common R?[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Not sure about the posy reference (is that just a flowery figure of speech?) but is the R
River?
Michael - profoundly childish = 'Deep River' from "Child of our Time" by Sir M Tippett
Toru Takemitsu wrote a piece called 'riverrun' = begin again because he forgot the capital letter?
And mercia self-effacingly left the word River from the title of the Crumb piece..."...the isle is full of noises,

... you even got the "posy"/"flower"/"flow-er" pun.
The "riverrun" is so called (and so lower-cased) because it's a reference to Joyce's finnegans wake: the first (or last, or middle, depending which way round you read it!) word in that novel. (Finnegan/begin again).
No question, you get the S!

This question is a little clin d'oeil to our dear amateur51 as a belated round-number birthday hommage (see his question earlier in this round):
What S is a member of a tribute to Devon’s famous Elizabethan miniature scion, might be seen racing up & down the motorways of England and directs famous marches in a brassy style?
