    Based on nothing whatsoever, except the year, I'll opt for the saxophone solo on Baker Street.

    yep correct, he was only paid £27 for it.

    I was going to ask it to name him, but went the other way.

    Correct. It specifically refers to the small side dishes served with a main dish.

    Your question.

    Any confirmation of the answers to the earlier questions?

    Here's one that I posted elsewhere, that failed to elicit an answer:
    Name the West Cork clergyman's daughter who was the author of "The Dark Side of the Moon: The Incredible Story of What Really Happened in Poland During the Russian Occupation 1939-45."

    OK. Time to put this one to bed.

    Lucy Zoe Girling (1905-1968) was one of three daughters of Rev. Frederick Girling, C of I rector of Drinagh in West Cork. In 1921 Rev. Girling emigrated ( fled? ) with his family to England. The ostensible cause of his departure was "health reasons", but there is a suspicion that it had more to do with unpleasant events in Cork at that time.
    In the 1930s Zoe wrote some novels under the pseudonym Martin Hare. She married Alexander Zajdler of minor Polish nobility from the Vilnius area of Lithuania, which was part of Poland in the inter-war period and went to live in Poland.
    She escaped from Soviet occupied Poland and arrived in England in 1940. She was separated from her husband during the escape and never saw him again.
    Zoe Zaijdlerowa then wrote what was considered the definitive work on the Soviet atrocities in occupied Poland, anonymously to protect her Polish in-laws.
