The seeds for this moderately challenging themeless were 22 and 37 across.  22 across is a question I hear all the time (the answer usually is “no”).  I first heard 37 across while on one last fall; it fits!.  Finally, if you aren’t familiar with Jason Isbell (see 55 across), check him out.  I think he’s one of the best songwriters working today, and his music kicks ass, to use the technical term!

I’ve published several posts about my recent trip to Cuba. Please visit my PuffinlessTravel blog if you’re interested.

Yet another music recommendation for y’all (actually a double): The clue for 28 Down mentions Drive-By Truckers, an excellent band and one-time home of the phenomenally talented Jason Isbell.  His album “Southeastern” is way up on my most-played list; it’s filled with emotionally raw, evocative, brave, rocking, instantly memorable songs.  You’re welcome, again.
