    Yes.

    The "Saint" being the "St" in "St Cyr". A member of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven bands and composer of the popular standard Oriental Strut. Now you need to find someone recent for part three - a third banjoist - and you are there.

      .....Think particularly of a Hungarian composer. Classical.

        Béla (for Bartok) Anton (for Dvorak) Leos (for Janacek) Fleck.

          Bingo. Almost. He was named after three composers. But not Dvorak. It was Webern. You did very well and you can have C for such a terrific effort. Many thanks.

            <doh> ah, I see, very clever, so you knew the answer immediately, putting me through all that painful to-ing and fro-ing with lat perhaps it was your subtle spelling of Houston that distracted me.

              I was going by his "official" website, rather than Wikipedia.

                A C to link Andrew, Hadrian, and 8945.

                          It is in the same source as the Hadrian link.

                            slightly stumped. I've found three singers called Andrew who have played the part of Cavaradossi but that's all. The Hadrian link being the Castel Sant'Angelo, his mausoleum in Rome, forming the backdrop of Tosca.

                                oops, thank you - that's rather embarrassing isn't it

                                Saint Andrew's
                                or do I mean the chapel of Saint Andrew Avellino
