Briefly, Make America Great Again with no state-backed separation by colour (8)

MAGNOLIA drew 29 entries from 12 setters. I needed Chambers to check some of the abbreviations, but you lot certainly know your stuff. mattrom went presidential with his #25 and #34, and paul amused me by conjuring the probably undeserved image of a member of the US Bush dynasty pulling rank: #26 'Move along, I'm a Bush'. How my heart strings were tugged by richardk's #18 'A flamingo, with foot missing, moved into the shade.' I liked paul's concise #20 with its 'shot' as anagram indicator, but finally chose a 'non-anagram' as winner: paul (lots of mentions but he did have seven attempts!) #19
Periodical trouble working back at the plant (8)

Thanks to everyone for your entries. Your turn next, paul. The virtual prize is a 'Sultans of Swing' cover by Josh Turner, talented on several stringed instruments and recommended by my son, who follows him on YouTube. I hope the link works this time.

Well done, Paul - my favourite also. Thanks to our gracious host, Paulh for the challenge. I enjoyed the music. I'm a 'her' btw, Matt was one of my dogs :)

Congratulations Paul
Cheers Paulh

Well done Paul - Thanks Paulh and welcome aboard Richardk.

Thanks Paul!
The Peters (3 of them behind the screen names and counting) might think we’re ganging up on them!
Love the track. Never come across that guy. Looks like a young Buddy Holly and just as talented. My exposure to YouTube performers tends to be dictated by whatever monotonous teen idol my 8-year old daughter is into.
See you all next week.

Congratulations, paul, and thanks, paulh.
