Oscar Petersen: called the "Maharaja of the keyboard" by Duke Ellington
Oscar Shumsky: custodian of a Stradivari of 1715 known as 'Ex-Pierre Rode' or the 'Duke of Cambridge'

Very good, scb. I would only add that in the 1970s the Joseph Rowntree Trust did sponsor Parliamentary secretarial posts, the holders of which were also known as Chocolate Soldiers.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
