      Just to say that Messrs Washington, Arnold and Norwell are or were all in the music business.

              Well, I'm not sure I'm all there but here are my contenders:
              Ned Washington (lyricist): Give a Little Whistle, from Pinocchio
              Malcolm Arnold: Whistle down the Wind
              Tristin Norwell: Whistle and I'll Come to You

                  A doubt widely shared over the years...
                  "...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..."

                    Is that almost the same as a Vicar? (he asked pedantically)

                      Let me assure you that you ARE all there (at least as far as this question is concerned)! Please proceed with your X/Y/Z/A.

                        Well I pedantically put my foot in it. Or not.

                        Wiki says:
                        A satirical 18th century song, "The Vicar of Bray", recounts the career of a vicar of Bray, Berkshire, towards the end of this period and his contortions of principle in order to retain his ecclesiastic office despite the changes through the course of several monarchs from Charles II to George I. A comic opera covers a later period in 18th century history, while a film set in Bray, County Wicklow, in Ireland, covers Charles I, the English Civil War, the Commonwealth of England, The Protectorate, and restoration of Charles II.

                              "conclusively" meaning that each word (four different words ? ) ends in X ???
