My frustration knows no bounds this time. I'm stuck on

Demon
33a patronage - aeg?b (makes no sense at all)
(I have tussle for 3d and drags for 16a - may be all at sea here)
52d magic stone - is it ruhe?
77a booming - o??t??d

Big
77a jet pilot - a??a??r

and in Goliathon
148a also titled - is it AKA or is that just too obvious?

Are you out there Duchy or Monterey Jack?

Thanks.

@Strauss,
Thanks Strauss, aegis is it - that rather messed up my 18d (Latin American dance.) I had samba, which was where the B came in, so what on earth is 18d? And thanks for the other two - got them sorted.

@Strauss,
Whoops, it's not samba it's salsa - and I always thought that was a spicy sauce.

it is; that;s why they named the spicy dance and music after it.

@MontereyJack,
Thanks Jack. I was actually kidding - I love Spanish/Latin American food but just didn't connect it with dancing. Spent a few fabulous days in Zhiuatanejo a few years back and now have a collection of Mexican blankets, crosses (one painted with chillies) and great CD's to help with my Spanish language. Hasta manana! But where is Dutchy - missing in action?

@Strauss,
I was very interested in your answer to Booming being Orotund, as I had searched everywhere for this, and would be grateful if you could tell me the source

@teviot,
Hi teviot, 23a is epicene. I found it after heaps of searching in lots of websites! I got orotund from someone else's Q&A. Maybe it's wrong - I'll keep checking. Regards Snakewoman.

@Dutchy,
Whew! Thought I'd lost you! The only one I can't figure out in BIG is 77a - jet pilot. And in Goliathon 148a I'm assuming is AKA? Hope your weather is better than what it's like over here - cold and wet. I think I blinked and missed summer.

HI Snakewoman.

We're always around the place. Smile Weather lovely here, a cool 25 degrees today.
77a = AVIATOR
148a = AKA

Good luck.

@Dutchy,
Hi Dutchy, seems like I now have a new name - snakeinthegrass. This website is not allowing me to be snakewoman any more. I posted a question under my new name but only got one weird answer - and not a peep from you. HELP.
