Not a very comprehensive list? I have recordings of works by Zarebski and Zarzycki, neither of which appear.

Oh Dear! Just thought - I hope I never get Z to set now, since I've revealed my last two secrets.

As for "X", the only thing I can think of is Xenakis. From A to B = "Analogique A/Analogique B", Whiskey = "Mists" (Irish Mist is a whiskey-based liqueur), clever = Messiaen said that Xenakis was "of superior intelligence". ???Last edited by Tapiola; 22-01-11, 08:57.

I generally spin through the Corrie omnibus at weekends (believe it or not, for professional reasons)... The main highlights seem to me to come from the magnificent Eileen - her one liners, delivered with perfect timing by Sue Cleaver, rarely disappoint
Sally Webster is one of the most subtly disagreeable people in Weatherfield, I think - another great performance - but I suspect you are not referring to her character traits... ?"...the isle is full of noises,

Haven't really looked at this before. Double sharp springs to mind. Isn't that an X on manuscript?
