Well played!

Spot on, @Canuck! Sorry for delay in responding - I have been away from the screen this morning.

So many people only know the more populist "name sake" of this composer. Glad you so easily saw through that.

I can’t say I am a fan of the latter day Engelbert Humperdinck, but I remember decades ago when an English pop singer named Jerry Dorsey was going nowhere with his career, and decided to assume a stage name. Of all the well known names from the world of music he might have chosen, why he chose Engelbert Humperdinck, I will never know. I understand he was far more popular as Humperdinck than he ever was as Dorsey. Might be all he’d have had to do was to change his first name…….to Tommy (Dorsey)! Que sera sera! Good rebus, by the way. (Any rebus I solve is a good one😀).
