Welcome, to our newest contestant. I’ll take this one:

I like the entries here. I was hoping for some Canterbury Tales action, and was not disappointed; the esoteric Miller moth clue was an unexpected one, and I had never heard of Mrs. Miller before nor her version of “Downtown,” which was … interesting. Now I have to go down the Mrs. Miller rabbit hole. Apparently she hit #15 on the album charts for her “Greatest Hits” album.

You’re up to the plate, @Rebo.
