I will forgive this fellow for his unwieldy name because, without him, we may never have had three of the late quartets.
Getting a little unwieldy this quiz is!
So Michael, a new "G" if you would be so kind.

Right! G .......
Gallenberg, Count something-or-other. He married Beethoven's "friend" Giuletta Giuiccardi (you might have heard of her) in 1803. And so the "Moonlight Sonata" was wasted!Last edited by Michael; 09-20-2012, 07:55 PM.

Control tower: Message not clear, Michael. We need a "G". Do you copy?
Michael: You need a Pee? ... zzzz ... I zzzz .... you already, why don't ... zzzz ... the fu ... zzzz ... chamber pot. Over."
Bomber Harris: Problem, Smythe?
Control tower: No Sir, just having difficulties reaching Flight Lieutenant Michael. Spot of bother with radio communications. Usual stuff. We just need a "G".
Bomber Harris: You know where the latrines are, Smythe. Now go and firebomb Dresden and get on with it.

Sorry if I held up the quiz but I had to tend to some other things like ...... breathing ..... eating, etc.
Anyway, Philip, I am glad to know that you are watching for repeats. This could could become very difficult when you get to round 26!
Seriously, you should keep this going as long as you can. The fun will start when everybody runs out ........................
I still have a lovely X. Megan beat me to it with a brilliant one!
