FIR in just under half an hour. Thanks, Pam & C.C.<br /><br />How could I not love a puzzle with a word like WHEEDLE in it?! Makes me grin every time I see/hear it. Ditto with DWEEB. <br /><br />The band names were gimmes for me; I was just going through some Deep Purple early last week. <br /><br />Mainly WEES about everything else. No problems with DASH it, PIP, or LOLLAPALOOZA. As someone mentioned earlier, Lollapalooza is the name of a long-standing music festival in downtown Chicago near the lake. Except this year... as with so many other events this year, Covid-19 did it in. <br /><br />Three days in a row of grandchildren sleepovers have done me in.

Like others, I had to change DEICE to DEFOG. Also MODEL to TWIRL, and INRE to ATTN.<br />Gosh. UPS, OPS, TES, and TET all in a row.<br />I learned there are two flavors of Oreos that I didn't know of before.<br />By total coincidence LW and I watched the movie <i>Fearless</i> last night so I immediately knew Rosie PEREZ.<br />Never thought of EULER, who was definitely a genius, as a calculus pioneer. I think of Newton and Leibniz. I'll research that later.<br />So, might a scandal involving improper deleting be called DELEGATE?<br />I like that word WHEEDLE.<br />My dad was an MD in the VA when KEN Kesey's book was published. He and most of his colleagues hated it and thought it painted an entirely false and unfair picture of the VA. I didn't read the book but I thought the movie ranks right up there in the near-masterpiece stratum.<br />I think it's neat-o that there's a town in Yemen call Mocha and a town in Iran called Shiraz.<br />Good idea to grow cucumbers on a trellis; vertical instead of horizontal.<br />I wonder if the "correct" pronunciation of ISAIAH is "Iss AH ee ah".

Both are meant as compliments - as in very good or excellent- and both are rarely heard. Thank goodness.<br /><br />I started in the NW and came upon the Good Old Grateful Dead pretty quickly. I was never what would be called a Dead Head but I went to at least a half dozen of their concerts and enjoyed them all. At least, I think that I remember being there. <br /><br />The band theme came pretty quickly and as was pointed out in the write up the answered took up a lot of real estate and helped the solve quite a bit. I thought that the theme was very cleverly executed. <br /><br />FLN, Anon-T, Valerie has a broken wrist but is feeling pretty good, thank you.

Though I don't know most of the bands, I have heard of most of them. Watching Entertainment Tonight pays off!<br /><br />Ay, dios mio, so much Spanish! I love it! I do have a nit and that is the pronunciation of PEREZ. The accent is on the first syllable, not the last which is how I hear it most of the time. It's PE-rez. Not Pe-REZ. When a surname ends in Z, the first syllable is accented as in CHA-vez, YA-nez, LO-pez. My great-grandmother's maiden name was Perez<br /><br />Many years ago I bought CRAIG Claiborne's cook book and still occasionally use it. Most of the recipes, of course, are not suited for diabetics but I have some favorites I can still use.<br /><br />Sports names inevitably trip me up so I had WES not TES.
