    And so say I too. I'll leave it clue-less for the early shift, then see if I can assist if need be.

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

        Well.... that would be my hint too! Won't you enlighten the company, as you clearly know the answer, and then proceed to A?

          oh very well, I feel I've robbed this off other players. anyway, this is apparently the Zimbalist family
          Stephanie, actress who played Laura Holt in Remington Steele opposite Pierce, daughter of
          Efrem junior, still going strong (one hopes) at 93, actor in, amongst other things TV series FBI, son of
          Efrem senior, another long lived member, Russian emigre, violinist, conductor and composer of a tone poem Daphnis and Chloe

            Oh well ferreted out, mercia! And you get a special from The Anna's Law Society for that exemplary explanation

            The only other nugget one might chuck in to keep Cloughie's appetite for 'factoids' satisfied, is that Efrem Zimbalist Snr was a top violinist, as well as composer - he taught Shumsky among others, and came out of retirement to give the world première of Menotti's Violin Concerto, written for him.

            A gentle A to cheer us up on this dank day?

              hope the above is correct. I certainly can't match Z for interest

                      Yes! I knew the Brosnan-Zeus link was about that Percy Jackson film coz I saw it !

                      Well, yes... a true alternative answer. Though as you say without the toe-hold in R3 territory...

                              I think giving a full answer would be merely academic...
