    A certain actress, who stars on a series that has its series finale Sunday, August 21, 2005, named her son for an Australian poet. Can you name the actress, the show, the poet, and a famous poem by that poet? Don't get confused by musical instruments.

    Question #58897. Asked by JoshCaleb12.

    Actress Rachel Griffiths, who appears in "Six Feet Under," has a son named Banjo. I've assumed that he was named for Banjo Paterson, who wrote "Waltzing Matilda."

    I posted a question that involved Paterson not too long ago. No one answered it.

    Yes, Lan, that's right. She did name her son for Paterson. I saw an interview with Griffiths in "Life" Magazine (now a newspaper insert on Fridays), in which she explains naming her son after Paterson... Griffiths is an Aussie.

    Frankie, was it #57976? I'm still losing my marbles over the spots in that one, but I haven't forgotton about it.

    Nope. 57976 is an entirely different question altogether.

    But for 57976, think about your ancestral homeland and associated literature. And do you drink much Sicilian wine, by any chance?

    The spots are still quite relevant.
