Constructor's Note
This puzzle is themeless, except that multiple clues relate to my mom's life. HBD Mom! <3

    Happy birthday to your mom! This was a fun solve. Loved some of the clues especially 27A. Nice to see 50A in a puzzle. Thank you!
    The unchecked squares were a bit tough especially when it came to 38A/38D (with the new-to-me 25D). I didn’t get the clue for 10A — help?

      Ah yes! 10A was a little nod to how NYT very often has a clue about a "solo" (or sometimes operatic solo) if that makes sense, and the answer comes up quite a bit in their crosswords. Thank you for the feedback and birthday wishes for my mom!
