Comments on the clue
1.I take my hat off to you for trying to get Bob Holness in there. I tried but couldn't make it work!
2.Clever idea but would need first of sax to give S.
3.Lovely idea, but neither definition nor surface seem to work.
4.To indicate initial letter really needs to be 'first in sax' or similar. 'On Baker Street' is not really accurate as a definition
5.A good joke, rather let down by "first sax" which is not a valid way of indicating S.
6.What is the definition?
7.rather obscure
