Beamed up at the innings position. Another epiphany on my walk! I practically had to rush home, haha.
That was brilliant. Now time to play in the Midwestern snow!
Good luck!!

Beam up requested with great confidence.

Beamed thanks to fun Discord group solve. Never heard of the 'famous' band, so I would have been in trouble otherwise.

I really liked this one. Sure to be beamed aboard soon. Now back to the WSJ where I have *checks notes* nothing.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

On the board at #59. As I only listen to piano music on Pandora, I was out of my element on this one!

I feel a little bad and guilty for enjoying posts like this. But in as I'm completely stumped on this I feel a little better to know those who seem to breeze through are stumped on something I breezed through.
I'll trade nudges if you want.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Beamed at #65. For some reason this just fell into place for me. I knew what to do halfway through the fill. Pretty rare for me. Fun one.
EDIT after reading this thread:
I was aware of the existence of this band only because the name was an entry in a crossword puzzle some time ago. From obscure crossword puzzle entry to famous band MGWCC meta answer! This group is definitely climbing the ladder to success.
