Sorry to distract from the important stuff but I seem to remember that when the Romantic Piano Concerto Somervell and Cowen Cd came out there was some discussion about Cowen's unusual name (Sir Frederic Hymen Cowan) and someone posted a link to old census records that had some decidedly odd names (Raspberry Tufts was just one example)
Does anyone remember or know the link? I can't find it (though it may have been on pianophilia - will try there too).
Thanks,
Rob
