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.

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.
