  29. Nice grid! BARD, ASPIRANTS, LOTS, EVENTUALLY were a few favs.
    UNNOTICED - great clue, will work even without "out" since working can be the anagrind
    Same for ATTAINMENT - "differently" is not required IMO, since "playing" works as the anagrind. In both cases, the surface story still makes sense after removing the word.
    Thanks Driver and Col for the Sunday puzzle.
