    Yes, and I thought I'd saved it, but can't find it now! - hoping for a repeat.

    H-Hour for you
    Which H was famous for his fear of heights and a shower of other work, though he'd probably prefer to be remembered for heights without a hitch.

      Can it be as easy as Bernard Hermann... who scored Vertigo, Psycho with the shower scene, and ... Ah! his opera, 'Wuthering Heights'
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        'Fraid so! - I bet you picked up the "hitch" reference, too?

                          Indeed.

                            I always find it a most welcome counterbalance to the more effusive outpourings of some who frequent these boards, scb

                              Would this star belong to the constellation Pisces, Aquarius or Cancer, or am I swimming up the wrong way?

                                Definitely swimming in the wrong direction.
