              She's the one.

              Coleslaw

              Younger

              Jon Sebastian of Lovin' Spoonful, who recorded Younger Girl.(Younger Generation another of their hits would have been acceptable.
              R&H Younger than Sprintime.
              Johann Strauss II also known as the Younger JS.

              mercs to start the new alphabet!

              I notice that Jon Sebastian is spelt John Sebastian - my memory may have played a trick but I'm fairly sure he was Jon when Daydream was a hit!

                    Brown Stone Chips
                    "...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..."

                      perhaps this would feel at home on the film music thread

                        I think it would indeed... that's rather why it occurred to me...

                        Want to go futher, you blithe spirit, you?

                          The only think I can link to brown stone chips is aggregates, which is fairly meaningless really!

                            I had that in mind too

                            If mercia is being retiring, think: Master, Mrs and Mr, respectively...
