No, I think you need to have some light shone on yours. :rolleyes:

Not Monk. Mark got it again. Bird. Charlie "Yardbird" Parker. Here's maybe a little harder one. (Which is good 'cause I need to leave the office for today). I fell in love with a young woman, who stunned me by entering a convent. I impulsively proposed to her older sister, and she agreed to marry me. Unfortuntely we were totally incompatible. She had so little regard for my music that she cut up my manuscripts to use as hair-curling papers! Who am I?
