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

            Me thinks it is Ruggles (Carl)

            One of the American Five
            Most famous work Sun Treader inspired by Browning's Pauline (good one mercia)
            He wrote Toys for his son's 4th birthday and
            Michael Tilston Thomas recorded all his works with the Buffalo Philharmonic.

            If this is correct I am afraid I cannot set an S until tomorrow evening so someone would do me a great service by taking the baton.

              thank you for understanding my silly question Anton
              yes indeed Mr Ruggles, not a very nice man if his wikipedia entry is to be believed, though I suppose I shouldn't be too judgemental

                Yes - it's all being preserved and is a bit scary. I was looking for an early user group post of mine a couple of days ago and look what I turned up:

                From Caliban
                27th April 2001
                Subject: Re: New Morning Programme

                'It is, I suppose, commendable that R3 should devote half its air time to
                a demonstration of what R2 could be if it tried.'


                (It's also a bit depressing that we've been complaining about such changes for over ten years now. )

                    Did I write that?! Where did you find it, Don? The old R3 message boards? Was I Caliban as early as 2001? I don't think so....

                    I don't even really know what it means...

                      Research has now shown that it wasn't in fact the Caliban, just a Caliban, so you're exonerated.

                      (The sentiment seemed fair enough, anyway.)

                        What S connects

                        Moulin Rouge
                        Parfums
                        Carillons

                        All tip to toe musical not a ball game in sight!

                          Cheers Don... not sure exoneration was required as the meaning of the comment is still not clear to me, but woteva!!!
