    Doom heralds boa.
    Dumerils boa.
    This story probably won't make a whole lot of sense to most people, but I used to work at a music shop specializing in music before 1750. One time a customer called asking about a piece of flute music, which they insisted was on the repertoire list in a popular method for the 18th century flute. They kept asking for a piece by a composer named Lauber Mitchell Day, or at least, that's what it sounded like. I was totally stumped, and kept saying that didn't sound like any Baroque composer I'd ever heard of.

    Eventually, someone figured out that they actually meant Michel de la Barre, and in the alphabetical listing he was listed as "La Barre, Michel de".

    But yeah, same sort of story.
