Wide recognition is a general problem for this game - well, not this exact one, but generally.
I remember a friend's mother giving the initials MSH. We guessed for at least an hour, on a car trip, and ended up guessing letters. It turned out to be Madame Schumann-Heinch (sp?), also some opera singer, which my friend and I had never heard of. See, I remember it, approximately, even now. That was a long time ago, and I didn't like opera until recently, made a great deal of fun of it, with accompanying loud caterwalling.
I don't recognize any of Charli's...
I counted one question, and a whole bunch of guesses of people I have never heard of....yes, it is a dead he, who was a writer of some historical significance, and not of our Western shores, if that helps.
RE MSH . . .
There you go . . . ossobuco. I immediately recognize Madame (Ernestine) Schumann-Heink. In her day - the early 1900's - she was probably the most famous contralto in the world. Maybe we should limit our categories . . . or the years in existence . . . or ? :-)[/color]

Damn, Cav, you're tough . . . i'd never have gotten that one . . .
