The only tune I’ve ever heard that mentions your crypt-fascist Uncle Roger … 

Today’s question will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

†        Now you mention it, Debbi?   I THINK you’d have problems, these days: apparently, there’s less piano music for the (solo) right hand than for the (solo) left hand!   And yeah: I think both British Invasions were … well, the UK tax office did well from the exports!   (A pleasure, as ever!)
