Difficult to give a "little" hint - try "works and their creators".

Music, but not Pop. Nothing to do with Xmas as far as I can see.

Morning, GK
Out to play golf (in the rain!) shortly.

Disappointed with this one - I thought the theme made it too easy. Finished before 11 yesterday morning.

I think there is a (trivial) mistake in 26a. It is supposed to undefined, but it seems to inclue a definition!

ta all for little hint. I did get a slight possibility from 50a, although there are several themes that could be associated. have a good xmas, all, and perhaps a few NY re"solutions". :-))

Morning, Chris! I noticed a bit late! Just exercising to get rid of my back pains from bed --- in other words I'm just sitting (very active for me). Not even a round of golf in sight, though there's a course near here next to the Dutch colony at a Château: our millionaire neighbour goes there (and I'm NOT boasting: we're two of his serfs...) lovely weather here: the complete range of the P. clearly visible with new layer of snow. If it goes on like this we might as well be in Australia for Christmas (here, I mean) --- only the beach is missing for sunbathing. Today it's guinea-fowl (not guinea-pig) on the menu. And what are you cooking up? Tomorrow we must fetch the turkey for our appreciative French visitor Tuesday evening. I did manage to get all 4 "legs" (to put it simply) of the only wild boar being sold around hgere for miles, so we've got enough in for the winter. Roughly 6 pounds a pound. What would it cost in England? I've no idea, just curious. Never seen it on sale there, in fact. Over!

Hi GK
WE had a "practice Christmas" with turkey yesterday. Goose on Christmas Day. I've never seen wild boar here, but I do have a recipe that makes pork taste like it (3 days marinade required).
