                        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:

                        Michael Holding gets annoyed at Brian Close
                        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-f5pfBgpNE
                        Mr. Whispering Death trying to hurt Brian Close during the 1976 "grovel" series. Terrifying to watch.


                        (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

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

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

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