THEME: first word of a phrase can be BLOWN
GOOD ONES: Lose when you should have won [& theme] BLOW IT [I'd say "
could have won"]
BTW: Singing an olde-fashioned love song SMIT [too far afield. SMIT is an old[e] past participle, and it was used at times to mean struck by Cupid's arrow; but singing does not connote being smitten.]
Jazz player, briefly
NBAER [would be clever if NBAer were ever used]
Rock legend Frank ZAPPA [there are a few such: Chuck Berry, Elvis, McCartney; even Ronstadt. Frank wasn't one of them. Look at his record sales if you don't believe the Wise Man of the East (Brooklyn
).]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
