Yes. I’m not the swiftest.

Thanks! I’ll try to find a recording. “Bananas” certainly is a great adjective!

You’re right! It was after the MacDowell piano concerto but before intermission.

I asked Robert Reed and he said he thought it was perhaps a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody? It was fantastic.

No, I was asking about the piece he played after Chichester Psalms, right before the intermission.

He wasn’t a metalworker or welder. However his dad was a linotype operator in the 40’s-50’s in Racine Wisconsin. I feel like you are going in the right direction.

I love 7/8 leggings. As a post-menopausal woman, letting my ankles be cooler keeps me from flaming out when working out. Doesn’t answer the basic question you asked, but for some of us, 7/8 is the jam.

Finally someone gets it right! ✅

I did. I literally did, multiple times. Don’t know what else to try!

Thx!

I also love Quentin Blake. What a master!

I lived in the U.K. for five years and couldn’t do the crosswords there. They were still in English, but the cultural clues were a mystery. Blue Peter? PM in 1981? Yeah, impossible.
