    "Destiny" is, I think, a red herring to make us think of Verdi (The Force thereof.)

    The composer of the Music for the film Return of the Living Dead is Matt Clifford, who also arranged the Music for Darcey Bussell and Katherine Jenkins' Viva la Diva.

    But no joy from the Pang!

    Pang was the obvious clue leading one to Puccini's Turandot (Ping, Pang and Pong). The singer at the opera's 1926 premiere was one Emilio Venturini. The poet was Serge Venturini, a Frenchman, and there was an actor who was in Return of the Living Dead called Mark Venturini who died of Leukemia aged 35. All this was gleaned via Wikipedia, I confess, I had never heard of any of them.

    He wrote MATT, ammy. Get those eyes tested, or stop doing whatever it is that's making 'em go funny

    A propos of which: Time for a W, methinks...

    Well done! Looks like you've got yourself the W as mercs has b*ggered off till the early hours... I'd just crack on if I were you...

    And your very kind gift happens to be playing as I write. Not going to say what it is as there are fertile AA pickings on it, for use when you are otherwise engaged. But very good it is Really rich, throaty instrument, isn't it

    Deeply so. Is it a Ruckers, or perhaps a Blanchet? Old Kenyon was banging on about similar things in BAL this morning.
