For those who *don't* get the reference, don't worry about it. It's one
of those dumb things that only musicians (and perhaps a few of their most
devoted friends) would find funny. For pedants, the Concerto for Horn and
Hardart is of course S.27 - but there were rumours a few years ago of an
earlier, now lost work for list server and chorus called "Nor Shall Thy
Line Continue", or something like that.
