I'm stuck on the last two - although I'm sure the answers should be staring me in the face

36A - Record of events left in can (4)
?L?G
43A - Are depressing old poems set in heart of Kansas withdrawn? (6)
S?D?E? (SADDEN or SODDEN I assume, but can't parse with any degree of conviction)

Thanks for any assistance.

36a B L OG

43 Sadden. Edda = old poems +NS in the middle of Kansas.

Malone,

Thanks

I'd somehow managed not to remember the Edda - all I could come up with were Odes.

Now I can retire with a good book...….

Also :

Thanks to Stevie Gee who, much to my embarrassment, I overlooked.


"Me a cowboy.....etc"

Glad I could help, Bear.

Help appreciated parsing these.....

Is it a double definition or is there more going on?
