Tuesday, May 23, 2023 - It's hard to be blue when listening to JONI Mitchell's "Blue" 🎶 💙

A deftly constructed crossword by Lee Taylor, with a nifty theme and a bevy of supporting clues that elevate it above the merely "good" to that loftier echelon, "good enough to get into the NYTimes".  A few clues of note: 10D, Free, as a seat, UNTAKEN; 12D, Guernica painter, PICASSO; and (in keeping with a 2-day trend of expressing east in a foreign language), 31A, German sunrise direction, OST.It's Tuesday, which means it's time for Triplet Tuesday.
