Good puzzle! And nice deep cut at 35-Across. I believe (no pun intended) I was at its first live performance at Cobo Arena, Apr. 5, 1989.

Beamed at #38!

On the board. For some reason, my brain kept struggling to keep hold of the thread so it took me a bit longer than it probably should have.

So much fun! Solved this while waiting for a tour group to arrive at Primitive Hall under the watchful eye of my eight-greats grandfather, Joseph Pennock.
