Didn't spell it out to check but it should be DEFENESTRATION like Jan Masaryk in Prague in 1948ish.
Let's resurrect a yellow word : Play on the TREADMILL with a VIOLIN BO and get Fred Allen's autobiography
Edit: A note of explanation, in case I've misled people by being cryptic too many times before. This was posted in yellow type back in JAMLAYA II. TREADMILL had been the solution from one or two posts previously. Yellow has nothing to do with unscrambling VIOLIN BO (although there was a red violin once) and TREADMILL has something to do with Fred Allen's autobiog but not with stringed instruments.This message has been edited.

But, Hab, I cannot break the code of Treadmill and Fred Allen... I will leave that to more enlightened members..

Try Googling "autobiography fred allen treadmill" (with or without the oblivion) and you should have your answer in 0.21 seconds!

If you had looked up Fred Allen's autobiography way back when, you would have had a clue to the unscrambling of VIOLIN BO. That's all.
Now it's your turn, I think...
