Alphabet associations

You old smoothie, you

It's been said before and it'll be said again

Loved the puzzle and the solution. I was at no stage anywhere close to providing the latter

Bravo Norths! :bigrin:

And top puzzle too, RM!

I was only half-way through the track listings of all the Manhattan Transfer LPs/CDs

Out of interest, have you listened to much ManTran - some absoultely brilliant vocals, particularly the female voices, and in my view preferable to Adams' music.

[Northender]

Hi folks! As it happens, I do like ManTran - especially the 'Pastiche' album and their beautiful, simple close-harmony version of 'A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square'. I'm not a fan of Mr. Adams's music, I have to confess. I knew about the Presidential element from watching the wonderful series that Channel 4 broadcast starring Paul Giamatti and Lorna Linney (That's just Lorna, you understand). Time for me to devise a 'B' I guess - I'll be back before too long!

[Northender]

A 'B' please to link:
- Carruthers and colleague;
- nephews and nieces;
- Shropshire in September, for example

Isn't a gem? Mecca for Moderns also a great album - love 'Until I met you' and those incredibly high notes! Their vocalisation of 'Birdland' is also good.

I'm afraid that I am in the opposing camp! Just sampled some of their tracks on iTunes...I found them barbershop saccharine sweet for my taste.

[Northender]

I should perhaps have mentioned that 'B' is a person.

Anything to do with Wodehouse, Blandings, Emsworth, pigs?

[Northender]

'Fraid not. To help you:
The first element is a bit of a puzzle, the second could also include cousins, uncles and aunts; and the third element shares a title with a work by Turgenev. All scored by B.

[Resurrection Man]

Well the third element is A month in the Country.
