    Which K with a famous father-in-law got all choral in Santa Fe and was electrifying in San Fernando?
    "...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..."

        I'm afraid not, to both questions....

          hint for ammie [cos I want another ammie question]

          I think this gentleman's choral work followed a strict timetable

          [and dad-in-law was Mahler]

            O mercia you are so coy and so correct...

            Ammie's green light is off - perhaps a "snoozle" to see off the effects of the final two malt whiskies last night....

                Probably! Can't remember (let alone the punchlines!)

                      Correct!! I suspect you thereby get the L puzzle too

                      Would you like to fill in the gaps, to wit: the Santa Fe and San Fernando connections?

                            Cor blimey it's like getting blood out of a stone!

                            Yes!

                            Ernst Krenek

                            - married Anna Mahler
                            - wrote: (1) choral piece "Santa Fe Timetable" Op 102 and (2) an electronic piece called "San Fernando Sequence" Op 185, in 1963.

                            Would you give us an L of a time with the next puzzle, please?
