Did anyone get the wordplay?

I guessed, knowing you, that there was one, but I'm not seeing it :o)

Sheila Chandra is a friend of some friends of ours in Texas but I also remember her early recordings done here! Great fun :o)

Remember this?

"An Áit Bhanda" was my attempt at translating "gynaeceum" into Irish (hence the name of this journal). An=the, áit=place, banda=pertaining to women. The Irish pronunciation of it sounds like "A nautch Wanda" (a nautch being an Indian dancer, from Hindi नाच nāc 'dance').

I miss you too, dear. :)
