            You mean, like the nerd who transcribed all the alphabet association answers and posted them helpfully on the thread?

                  Indeed, and very possibly a fellow aficionado of the pleasurable hyperelastic properties of the sap of Hevea brasiliensis, the rubber tree.
                  "...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..."

                          Yes, yes and yes, but can anyone Finnish it off?

                          I'm still waiting for the four composers.

                            hercule has got it I think, Sibelius wrote that, but going back to the J and Edward Jenner I thoroughly recommend a vist to The Jenner Museum (if you are not squeamish about smallpox) which can be combined to a visit to Berkeley Castle (of Edward and The Red Hot Pokers fame) A couple of miles outside of Bristol verging on the Glos border.
