VITUS (JONAS) BERING!
Onnicle: The judges found his sonata far and away the better of the two pieces. Her essay was good, but she had to settle for second place in the talent competition.
Clue: An Arab has the right to left-handedness, same as any other person Afar? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afar_language

Oops. We've skipped TGR's onnicle from several pages ago. I think YOYO MA is on the Silk Road.
As for mine with the Arab clue, "Afar," though probably a lovely retirement destination, is not what I had in mind. Here's the clue again with (hopefully) helpful emphasis:
An Arab has the right to left-handedness, same as any other person

Are languages considered proper nouns or celebrities? To me, that's pushing the category a bit too far, but I would certainly defer to Onamographys ruling... :0?

U got me twosleepy just as a matter of record, it was in an attempt to avoid text babble that I ended up with "Do you think Haiti has a rainforest˛?" as my onnicle. from the initial post: "personality's name in it." and, why onnicle?! I keep having to look it up 'cuz it doesn't seem obvious!!
