Last spring there was a Manhattan Transfer concert nearby; I wanted to go but the ticket price was out of my league, due to the intimate venue (a small, beautifully restored music hall). I was afraid that it might be the last chance, because the sassy soprano Cheryl Bentyne has been very ill.

Ended up FIW: I put in ANTEPASTI which gave me PENK for the singer, which I did not realize was wrong. I spelled it ant<i><b>e</b></i>pasti because I thought ante means before, before the pasta, while anti means against. Now I have to relearn and to erase decades of spelling it wrong.Jaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906163232315177399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-46290248883433181892014-10-18T18:12:31.152-05:002014-10-18T18:12:31.152-05:00Spoiler alert!

In my 'ute, summer TV sucked and my family was usually content to sit outside in the cooling dusk air and plan tomorrow or whatever. One evening early in the season it was raining so I was inside and saw that a program was to be "Manhattan Transfer". Expecting a drama, I was surprised to find this vocal quartet opening their summer replacement series with "Operator". Even at that tender age I was HOOKED.

But I'm not going to CLAPP very hard for this puzzle. I must be DAFT to keep trying Saturday's. I'm so INEPT. Too many unknowns. I filled it with several red-letter alphabet runs.<br /><br />As often as we hear the McDonald's slogan, it took me six perps to fill it. Guess I'M not "LOVIN' IT".<br /><br />I learned there is an "E" in Sotheby's.<br /><br />BREAKING BAD sorta cracked me up.<br /><br />Thanks, Splynter, looking good!

At 17a, started to see a bunch of a's and a b, so ADDIS ABABA seemed about right to go with Bole, a place I had never heard of. At 39a, had the S so was thinking Shetland something, but finally the K in BREAK- let me come up with SKYE TERRIER. <br />I guess my solve could be summed up by PLAY IT BY EAR, an apt fill.<br /><br />Have a great day.Spitzboovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448007368332133086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-12367697565246402732014-10-18T12:37:41.120-05:002014-10-18T12:37:41.120-05:00 OMK:

Thank you for explicating the obscurities of this puzzle.<br /><br />WEES about seeing Julian Lim's name and knowing it would be rough and it was. I bounced around quite a bit having only SRA,LIBBY, SOTHEBY and CSA to start.<br /><br />One slog at a time finally gave me more to work with though I had to research some names. Popular culture is my nemesis and though I am familiar with PINK, don't know her repertoire, no idea about ARYA, LEN, AMIS, and WIIS. It perped.<br /><br />Not enough French in my vocabulary to help with SAIS.<br /><br />It was finally done but felt like I ran a TENK. Also had WEISZ and failed to change the second S.<br /><br />Great challenge, Julian.<br /><br />I have joined the 21st century with regard to paying without SAE.
