A person of note responsible for the numbers heard on the pavement (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
street singer
'the pavement' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'a person of note responsible for the numbers heard' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'person' could be 'singer' (singer is a kind of person) and 'singer' is found within the answer.
'note' could be 're' (as in do-re-mi) and 're' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'heard' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'st' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
