There was a school in my county called Glenelg (pronounced Glen El). I always thought that palindrome was cool.

I have to agree with JPO- "rotor" should be accepted for "that which turns around an axis."

I thought the hint for "bib" was a little misleading; I realize that a bibs are *worn* under the chin, but aren't they normally *tied* at the back of the neck?

Having "as a dance" added into the clue for solos seriously threw me off. A musical performance alone is a solo also.
