NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Dr. Tom you are showing commendable restraint in your reaction above. ( :
BTW, I’m still trying to see what everyone is seeing in this meta…

Yeah, I think I see what I'm supposed to see but I'm a little to fclustered to really take the borther to see it. Whether I'm being too impatient or whether it's vaguely ambiguous remains to be seen but I suspect I'm being too impatient. Not getting it yet...
Um going to consider the WSJ this week the first real meta of the year... Of course if I whiff that... well, I suppose it's always been possible there'd be a year where I never solve a meta ever....

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Fun one, @DrTom! The cat is currently out of his bag, but he's preparing to get right back in there before the nor'easter hits tomorrow.

Nudged out of the bag, and you could probably hear my head slap half-way across the country. Loved it - thanks, Tom!

The nudges helped! Seven more people joined the ranks of solver:
32 Berto
33 Cap'n Rick
34 Dave C
35 Danny K Bernstein
36 Carolyn
37 woozy
38 Kay W
Possibly everyone now is working on the WSJ and MG (I know I am) and if you are having the difficulty I am then I doubt I'll see you on the MEOW, but I do thank those who has tried so far.

Better late than never?? I have FINALLY figured this one out, thanks to a little more explicit instruction from Dr. Tom. A little red-faced over here, that I needed that much hand holding. (Though to be fair to me, I was not at all familiar with the band!)

Getting to it late, and needed the second nudge, but got there. Fun stuff, thanks.

I am delighted to have 2 more people solve every day, but remember tomorrow AM I post the reveal, so that kind of spoils it for future solvers!! So if oyu are looking to solve, be a night-owl because tonight is the night.

The Reveal:
A total of 44 of you trudged through the snow to find the answer:
I got a lot of different answers and some people may have had the answer and just stopped trying because I did not have their particular answer as a possibility, for that I am sorry. It is hard to anticipate what people are going to enter and include them all.
I think I also have to apologize for my verbal chicanery, Rock Group was meant to be funny, and I'll admit a little cryptic, using the fact that these magnificent seven worked in the mines. Hmmm, magnificent 7, I'll have to remember that!!!
Thanks to all who solved!!
