Clue/Question:  When she found out the headphones were on sale, it was – – –

Answer:  MUSIC TO HER EARS

(Punnerful!  Punnerful!  Besides fond memories of sort of being forced to watch The Lawrence Welk Show – before cable we were very limited in channels and shows – I also have great memories of my brother singing along to Yes, wearing headphones!  Painfully off key, messing up about half of the lyrics, and loud as hell.  But, he always had a big smile on his face!  I think it was from their “Fragile” album.  “Roundabout”  and “Long Distance Runaround”.  Great songs.  Much better when Yes sings them!

We have been spared any new clue words today.  However, all of the jumbles appear to be new.  I got them all immediately.  The answer letter layout was a Wunnerfully cryptic fourteen letter jumble.  It hid the answer splendidly.

Fine music shop cartoon.  “Second Spin”!  I like both of their tee shirts.  The guy with the record spindle adapter, and the girl with a Lady Gaga shirt.  I still think “A Star Is Born” got ripped off at the Oscars!  It was a very moving film, and better overall than “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which I did enjoy, but not as much as Star.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
