Quietly living in Cleveland, perhaps (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

president

'cleveland perhaps' is the definition.
(Cleveland was a US president)

'quietly living' is the wordplay.
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'living' becomes 'resident'.
'p'+'resident'='PRESIDENT'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for president that I've seen before include "authority figure" , "Leader of a republic" , "Head of US company - tried pens (anag)" , "Wilson once" , "Head, of a republic say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
