    Comment


      Soorjo Alexander William Langobard Oliphant Chuckerbutty (1884–1960) (A.K.A. Wilson Oliphant) was an English composer and an organist of Anglo-Indian descent who played in both cinemas and churches

      Thomas Oliphant - Madrigal Soc

      The Song of Roland - He "leads the rear guard of the French forces; bursts his temples by blowing his oliphant-horn, wounds from which he eventually dies facing the enemy's land."

              Reeling at the overnight goings on here, and the arrival without warning of Soorjo Alexander William Langobard Oliphant Chuckerbutty (1884–1960) of whom I had never heard and whose name almost made me choke on my pre-breakfast gin His surname isn't so mad when you think of his Indian forebears and remember the Chakrabartis... but it still sounds like one of Ken Dodd's more eccentric creations... Right up there with Fredegond Shove


              Fertile nocturnal exchanges in any case!

              Re P one thinks instantly of Handel but I can't make it fit with anything secret...
              "...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..."

                  Do you mind, this is a serious message board with serious business to do. We have poor Roland splitting his temples playing his olifant (a cautionary tale for any brass musician ), and you sir are mocking poor Soorjo...

                    I'm thinking of starting a thread for strange and funny names.

                    I came across one Arsenio Macadangdang in the US the other day
