In respect of @9, @15, @21: I would have thought that
*everyone* would be familiar with the word “tarn” from reading
Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”.

Did anyone mention the M’s and F’s? Significant? Mia Farrow. Marianne Faithful(l). Microscope Foster. For Fine Melba?

First in was Ness for Mormon’s Last (n) seen by “ess” or “s” for salt. Made SW a challenge.

Thanks Andrew,

A superb puzzle from Orlando that was right up my street. So many good clues but 1,20 is definitely my clue of the day
closely followed by TATUM. Many thanks Orlando.

Thanks Andrew and Orlando

I had AUROCHS at 1ac which almost works (animals from a cold era, Austria rocks) but it made 2dn impossible.

Thank you Andrew for the blog and Orlando for a pleasing and sonorous puzzle.

I enjoyed both the trip down memory lane and the lovely surfaces.

Enjoyed this puzzle. Thanks to setter and blogger. Not sure if it was intended, but of course Sumac is also the stage name of the multi-octave Peruvian Yma.
