Alphabet associations - I

[Anna]

OK, I did have a B prepared but no C, so this is very simple (and quite honestly, pathetic and not at all classical!)

What C connects:
Someone who invented an anatomically impossible childrens favourite
The E Street Band
A Nobleman who met a boozy end
Someone who opened many concerts for the Beatles

[mercia]

an anatomically impossible childrens favourite

Pinnochio?

[Anna]

Pinnochio?

Sorry mercia, no. It is one name that links all (I do hope you were not going cross eyed over this!)

[mercia]

cross eyed

a clue to a big cat ?

[Anna]

a clue to a big cat ?

Indeed it is mercia, please continue!

[mercia]

please continue!

I think that may be far enough
I didn't know it was impossible for a cat to be cross-eyed - you know so much Anna

[Anna]

I think that may be far enough
I didn't know it was impossible for a cat to be cross-eyed - you know so much Anna

And you, my Dearest Mercia, obviously know the answer! Oh come on, spill the beans! You will feel so much better, I guarantee that!

Thanks, Anna (and fhg, who did all the hard work!)
Which 'D' links instructions issued by six singers, born respectively in: London; North Dakota; Surrey; and Minnesota, Minnesota and Minnesota?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Thanks, Anna (and fhg, who did all the hard work!)

No: I only remembered Daktari after Anna gave the big hint following Mercia's lead - and the only Clarence connected with the Beatles I could find was a skit on Saturday Night Live by Eddie Murphie! (Clarence Walker, for future reference).

I like the look of your D

Thank you! As usual, I took the trouble to get the punctuation right.
