2..K9 (who forgives me for liking the Hollies) provides "deaf".

3..She's here again, along with Waquoit, with the NBA's Pelicans.

4..Medicine

5..Vocabulary

6..As rbny & zorro offer, St. Paul's Cathedral.

7..You Got to Me, with harmonicy and other instruments--Husky & dish.

8..Yes to J C Penney, so yes to rbny.

9..Leaders in Dublin did declare an Irish Republic (as Husky typed) in 1916, but the designation did not become official as an independent entity until 1949.

10..Rbny, K9 & VAUC have the funny little man from Brooklyn. Who, besides myself,
can claim to having seen every Woody flic?

12..K9 is on the right track. Blythe played Buffy's mom.

13..If crown is right that Black Onyx is scratched, my question (like myself) becomes irrelevant. Now no horse mentioned has real long odds, but Mylute may break from the
