Monday, September 23, 2023 - HIALL, HELLO, and ADEIU - a crossword that'll get you coming and going
Description
We're starting the work week with a pleasing Monday crossword by Freddie Cheng, his 17th for the NYTimes. It had a straightforward, cute theme, and quite a few musicians in the grid, including 35D, "At Last" jazz singer, ETTAJAMES; 28D, Pop star Gomez, SELENA; 15D, Piaf who sang "La Vie en Rose", EDITH; and the ubiquitous (at least in the NYTimes crossword) 7D, Brian of ambient music, ENO. We almost had a fifth, but 67A, Practices boxing, was SPARS, so close to SPEARS 😀.
Tomorrow is our Triplet Tuesday Contest, get ready to show off your mad TTC skills!
Show note imagery: the one and only ... Brian ENO!
