Phrase be!

I note the new Bach of G&S hacks is making a concerted attempt to harmonise with their predecessors. In time, I'll sure others will get into the rhythm of it and join you there.

On a less punful note, I have a bag of your stuff I found in a G&S score-box. Can I drop it off in the next couple of days?

Walrus!
(and congratulations)

I'm not sure I liked the tenor of that reply. Such bass sentiments will have to be noted on my little Liszt, though I realise that you regard puns as your forte.

You're Chopin logic again, and I sense a crescendo of indignation accompanying our little exchange. We could orchestrate it even better - string it out so one can scroll down through a whole section of puns, then take a final bow at the end. I'm sure one of us can Parry any attacks, and if need be we can ac-cello-rate the whole process to avoid violince.

There's no Haydn place, I'm afraid - I intend to remain composed as I continue. The matter in which you have conducted yourself was instrumental in this decision. Trumpeting your punning ability around like that is cymbal-ic of your arrogance in this matter.

Well done! That sounds like a Good Job to have. You may also have control over the sound system that plays in the shop, so make sure you assign it to a permanent chronological G&S loop ... :)

Also, one might point out to the management that they don't stock enough Ceol Mor...

Thanks.
On that page, the "masters of" and "instruction" tapes are a bit naff. Here's an interesting list, though.

Congratulations! Surely you & Tom will soon reach a Hack Event Horizon?

It's an intriguing possibility. But the Space-Time Continuum appears to have developed a cunning safeguard against such an eventuality - Tom's leaving Blackwell's Music soon :(
