So, Dutchy, let's try between the U.K. and the Netherlands.
Are you surprised, Dutchy? Well, let's try a place in the U.K. Would your train travel between England and France?
At long last you are correct! Euro train which travels under the channel.
At long last? Why you obstreperous Dutchman. I thought I found your place faster than a speeding train.
Okay. I guess it's my turn, so I will be back in a while with a place.
Oh Letty, I thought it was such an easy querstion for one so sophisticated as you.
Hint: Inspired by yitwail on the radio thread.
A stab in the dark Letty. A religious wall mural in Brazil, South America?
Heh, heh. You did a pretty good job for being in the dark, Dutchy. This is the final resting place of a wonderful musician.
humming, What do they do on a rainy night in ---?
I took your hint and found three names to follow up. I have discarded Antonio Carloss Jobim as his grave site is different. So by my calculations it has to be either Gilberto or Getz?
I'm not sure for whom we are looking, Letty, but it's a headstone by Tilde Bonicelli (from 1959), at General Polidoro Street, Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Findagrave
It's the burial place of the
Campanella family (if I translated the Portuguese correctly).
Sorry, Walter and Dutchy. I got a critical error message and tried to delete my testing post but it wouldn't allow me to do so.
Walter, you have the right place in Brazil, but I have different info on Jobim. I wasn't looking for a particular grave site, just the cemetery. Carlos Jobim was just a hint.
Jobim is recognised the world over as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. He was musically productive right up to his death on December 8th, 1994. His last album, Antonio Brasileiro, was released posthumously soon after.
Jobim is buried in the Cemitério São João Batista in Rio de Janeiro. The Galeão - Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport in Rio de Janeiro has its name appended in his honour.
Thanks, Walter and Dutchy for responding.
So, I guess it's a draw.
His grave ...
... looks a bit different :wink:
I agree Walter, that's why I discarded him.
i'm pitching in with a foto, with everyone's permission.
a famous individual once lived here
Is this famous person an American?
