      This was awesome! I love this take on the theme

        More theme squares than non-theme squares, which is impressive.

          Awesome! I may need to brush up on my music, because none of them were gimmes, but all of your crossers were really well-done and made it a very do-able (and enjoyable!) experience!

            Great puzzle. I too am impressed at the theme density you managed to attain here.
