Of course, the instrument in question is the cello:

PABLO CASALS!

Onnicle: She’s an actress - the first to play Bo Peep, as far as I know. She was born in Nashville, but she - in Nashville garb - would be unrecognizable to her current fans.

(Hidden) Clues: She almost had a part in a Tolstoy story, too, but that went bust. (Er, so we used to say. I’m sure no women today would have designs on a man that used that expression.)

(The clues are hidden, because the Onnicle itself is straightforward and factual.)

Annie Potts who was on Designing Women

Onnicle: A large orgeat syrup maker had a beach vacation planned to Miami, where he wanted to jam espressos and mai-tais and kayak before the mangrove rotted.

Onniclue: The Keystone four (casually) plus two....first names only!



And finally...I'm no longer a stranger!!

Six presidents, four of whose likenesses are on Mount Rushmore!

Onnicle: His rock band exploited its own media hype terrifically. A reliably wild stage performance was his own – not someone else’s, as some critics say, but own - send-off into rock legend.

Clue: Who plays guitar like a Tommy Gun?

One of my fave groups!

Onnicle: The maestro wished to create a good impression on these people, some of the lowest in class, but highest in appreciation.

Onniclue: Not sure this person saved any lives, but the name-sake sure did!

MAE WEST


Onnicle: His songs were not stirring or languid, as those of Johnny Cash were, but that was not his style. Some would say he was on a par with Elvis, starring in movies made just for him and his cohorts.

Onniclue: Always a good hair day.
