Thanks, syzygy and Sunray. It was lovely to have a Friday treat. I enjoyed this, much more my sort of thing than the last one. Quite a few good clues and the American references were eminently gettable.
Thanks sunray and syzygy. This was less wracking on the brain, and one of the few I could finish within a day, and maybe that's more of a meaningful gift to me than the one in the green squares.
