My error was that I entered SEEMsO instead of SEEMTO at 24A, rationalizing that even though all of the other potential rebus squares were in the row above, it seemed that the missing "t" was reasonable there instead of the rebus S in the row above. I knew there were problems, but I got the congratulatory pencil after correcting the above-mentioned error, and I'd only entered FRANK/SINATRA, off of the MYWAY reference, not even thinking of Presley. So maybe this is a DNF.

I quickly scrolled down so I didn't see the rest. I really wish they would make such notes optional online. I mean, you don't have to click on the little flashing "i," but it's hard not to read text when it's right there in front of you.<br /><br />So anyway, the rebus was not spoiled for me. I think I had an inkling with "Duncan ____" and the aforementioned and delicious SAT[AY]SAUCE. <br /><br />I totally agree about POPULAR MUSIC, too. <br /><br />But overall, I liked this one. I'm amused that you didn't know ANTRA, because I thought of you when I saw that. Did you, like me, drop GOMERPYLE in off the clue? It must have already been in reruns when I was a kid, but I still watched a lot of it.<br /><br />Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.com
