Sorry Bill, I see what you mean about the link, my apologies, that is the book. Another clue, the title of the book is the title of a song. When you get who sang it then you are nearly there.

Bill Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Anything to do with Guns-n-Roses who have recorded "Catcher in the rye". ???? Or the Everly brothers who recorded the album "Two yanks in England". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Or the Everly brothers who recorded the album "Two yanks in England". That must be right Bill, so (by googling because there's no other way unless you happen to know it) we're talking Wesley Rose....just now need to establish a connection with TCITR .

MikeO Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 There's a very tenuous connection here but it can't be that I don't think. (Whaddaya mean I googled it !? I'm a regular reader of Copyright and Trademark blog . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Could it be that Wesley Rose who managed the Everleys is the father of Axl Rose, who sang TCITRye. (A very vague link). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Everly brothers who recorded the album "Two yanks in England". Could it be that Wesley Rose who managed the Everleys is the father of Axl Rose, who sang TCITRye. (A very vague link). Very very close Bill and as you are almost there I shall reveal all. The Catcher in the Rye, which was the famous 1950's book, was indeed recorded on Guns 'n Roses last album. The Everley Brothers (clue of Band of Brothers), which MikeO also mentioned in the seventh post of this thread, indeed recorded Two Yanks in England, in the 1960's The Everley brothers manager was Mr W(esley) Rose and Guns 'n Roses singer Axl was born Mr W(illiam) Rose. Once this was all established the further link was that Mr Axl rose and Mr Don Everley, of The Everley Brothers, where once father and son-in-law after Axl married Erin Everley in the 1990's. rather tenuous and long winded but hey! I was bored with our lack of transfer activity. Edited June 28, 2011 by The Beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
