Oh, I can so do so easily!! But, why I am bovvered?

[Nick Armstrong]

a Clerk to Chambers!!

Anna, old thing, are you confusing me with a fictional character orf the telly? Not a barrister's clerk, I... no, nor a barrister neither...

or, to use a classical "I lay alsant a willow"

cf Stephen Fry:

"I FONDLY REMEMBER MY SCHOOLDAYS.... THE GENTLE THWACK OF LEATHER ON WILLOW....

DEAR OLD WILLOW, I WONDER WHAT BECAME OF HIM...."

[Nick Armstrong]

PS Apologies for intermittent presence, attending to family etc... inc keeping old dad supplied with tea and ham sandwiches...

What 'I' was responsible for drawings of white folk, a certain episode in a composer's life and the finish of another's marriage?

aaaah clever old Stephen Fry, misremembering a quotation from Eric Morecombe some 30 years before when he said "Ah yes the sound of Summer - leather hitting Brian Close" :cool2:

For examples of why Eric might have said that, witness:

(the sound picks up after about 20 seconds)

As for 'whatever happened to him':

Ok, 5 hrs gone and no sign of the cavalry in the form of Mercia. Time for a little clue.

Just got back after two days' absence. Nice to be here with Ippolitov Ivanov in mind - Caucasian Sketches, for instance

[Angle]

And, didn't he complete THE MARRIAGE, by Mussorgsky?

Now what was that about "certain episodes in a composer's life" ?

[Angle]

Ippolitov Ivanov also wrote "An Episode from the Life of Schubert" opus something or other.
