Not him, Marian. Take a logical approach to the question...

Hmm!

Johnny Cash had been my first thought on 12 but it didn't really sound like him. I don't know who it does sound like though.

No, Johnny Cash is more tuneful!

Feel free to ask questions that can be answered with a "yes" or a "no"

If you were to ask me "Is this person known as a singer", I would say "no"

Have a think about my advice to Marian...

...and young michele played a blinder with #12

You-know-who? Do you mean THIS who?



Very nice to see you here, Mad!

I think the only other coffee I've ever heard of that begins with M is an espresso called Macchiato but I've never seen it anywhere let alone drunk any

There's one more still lurking out there, Mad...
