          When DID we last have an Anna puzzle?!??!

          There will be trouble due to marinading chickens and The Killing.... but I reckon it would be good to have one to chew on... (a puzzle, as well as a chicken thigh, if there's one spare.... )
          "...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..."

            I did think of Charles Racquet and his enormous organ at Notre-Dame of course, and the game of racquettes ...... but, I have to attend to my dinner! Also, I just came in, as a sweeper

                Apologies if this has been before in your vast history but a Q to link

                Glenn Gould
                The Goldbergs and
                Ernest Tomlinson

                at least it could give us a clear winner

                          Anton, your intervention for a Q is very welcome, even if I never can solve your input. Hope I didn't rattle your cage too much on the overture thread. By the way how much do you use EXCEL for listing rather than calculations. I've used it to catalogue my music for years and I find it really good, particularly in the more updated versions - I think mine is 2007.

                            I find it really good and of course you'll need the extra rows over 64k 2007 gives you for your collection
