I'm not a huge musical person, but even I caught a whiff of the musically infused themes here. You tease! Makes 52A even better, though hats off for the witty descriptions of stuff like 6D, 7D, 25D (too bad it wasn't his right!), 34D, 58D, etc. I also like your commentary style for stuff like 29A, 30A, 44A, and 55A: just the right amount of voice. Love to see it!
