Alphabet associations - I

[Tapiola]

Yes Tapiola, quite fond of Syd and a big fan of Pink Floyd, although I'm afraid they don't get much of an outing these days, must rectify this at the weekend.

Well if that is the case, then the are on me.



I bought Piper again last week in the stereo/mono double disc. Ahh the memories...

[rubbernecker]

poor Syd is a favourite of mine. What a mind the man had!

There's a wonderful anecdote in Nick Mason's Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd. At a time when Syd's behaviour was becoming increasingly erratic, the band are in their van on their way to a gig but need to collect Syd from his home. "Shall we pick up Syd?" one asks. "Nah, f**k it," they decide.

[Tapiola]

Poor old Syd

Is the answer Knight?

Knight Bachelors Chapel, St Paul's;
Knight (nobility)
Knights Templar, based in Jerusalem
Adam de la Halle's "Jeu de Robin et Marion" (Robin is a knight)

[Pianorak]

I'm afraid Knight is not the answer.

I was shocked to learn that my 21 year old nephew had never heard Dark Side! What do they teach them these days?

[Pianorak]

only 50 minutes gone and already I want a clue:-

is this any old cathedral or one in particular?

It's one in particular.

No offence to your nephew, BTS, but that is an outrage! Part of their heritage!

[Don Petter]

Fourth movement of Schumann's Rhenish Symphony was inspired by Koln Cathedral - Any good?

[Anna]

Would it be Koln Cathedral and Franco of Koln a connection? Whoops! Cross posted with Don

[Pianorak]

Koeln Cathedral is correct, Franco of Koln not.

[Don Petter]

Koeln Cathedral is correct, Franco of Koln not.

Surely not Old King Koln?

[Pianorak]

Surely not Old King Koln?

No.

[BetweenTheStaves]

Koln is twinned with Bethlehem. Is that the Palestinian Christian link?

[Don Petter]

Being a republican atheistic modernist, I think I’ll have to sit the rest of this one out.

[Anna]

Koln had (has?) relics of The Three Kings. Is that the Nobility link?
