Sort of odd how much music I fit in this puzzle, but then again, what’s the old adage? Write what you know? Okay then, I write what I know and sometimes what I know happens to be music. Fret not, there’s a lot of other subjects represented in the puzzle. That’s why they call it a themeless, because there’s a little bit of everything in the grid. Hope you enjoy it.

Programming note: the Marching Bands subscription started this morning. If you signed up and didn’t get your puzzle, hit me up. If you want in on the fun, there’s still plenty of room to jump on the bandwagon. Hit up the PayPal ($10 for 26 puzzles, $15 for 30) and you’re in the club.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
