Saturday Snapshots #211


The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
Helps his fellow bloggers solve the clues and work out the connection
On Saturday Snapshots.


10. Jerry's neighbour, associated with Walrus home.

9. Speaking clock gets spicy.

8. Roger Whittaker... or mother-painter?

7. Steven or Johnny or Andy or Mike... but only one of them.

6. Could be a stranger, a battlefield or a wonderful colour.

5. Parchment secretaries.

4. Upmarket joiners.

3. The apples are falling, but there's still time to gather in the crops while the sun is shining.

2. Lima found inside people you don't know.

1. Royal bassist down.


And I will strike down upon thee
With great vengeance and furious anger
If you can't get them all by tomorrow morning...
Or maybe I'll just give you the answers.

    Is there really a link between the Manics, Isaacs Hayes, and The Carpenters?
    Woodwork perhaps

      Once you know it, it's pretty obvious. But it's not thematic S the links often are. It's tied to specific songs...

    Is the link about children?

      No. Stop thinking thematically. Think about what else might connect certain songs they recorded.

    They all did songs by The Beatles.

    It was the Stranglers and Isaac Hayes who started me first thinking of Dionne Warwick covers and then to Bacharach & David, for 'Walk On By'.
