    Hi Col,
    This has nothing to do with August, Tchaikovsky, or anything else… Name I came across while googling latest Ukraine War events:

    SKRZYPCZAK

    Apparently the name of a distinguished Polish general. Try making any words out of that! My nephew Kevin came up with CRAZY.

    (I suppose it is no more remarkable in its own way than Cholmondeley or Featherstonehaugh.)

    Happy (?) August….

    David Matthews has orchestrated The Seasons and makes the music sound fit for the ballet.
