23. A musical god (3, 4) - Pop Idol

11. "Teachers" - with a dash, of course!

A school assignment with references to hard liquor? Shocking...

6. The "Carpenters" now dead, hence of late

16. "Outrider" ?

22. Coming between 2 spouses (7)
Midwife ??

Joe. In my view this really is poor. Sure you can access responses from this site, but if, as you have said, it is "your kid's school assignment" you are just using this as a crib sheet. What would your kid achieve by just copying out other brains' output: and in my view shame on those who contribute to this blatant cheating.

Good morning Joe,

I will leave to make a suitable rejoinder to Xfan's comments but, like my fellow contributors who have done the majority of the work, I am pleased to be of assistance...

4. MATCHMAKER [Thornton Wilder's retitled farce on which Hello Dolly was based].

18. SHEPHERD [David whose iconic painting of a head-on elephant will undoubtedly spring to mind].

I may well be back later but, judging by the rumbling coming from my nether regions, I had better get some breakfast first.

Regards to you all,

Caravaggio

@Xfan.

I'd just like to say that I don't feel at all shamed at contributing.

Help was asked for and help was given, without reserve, as with most other requests on this site. Seems fair.

I certainly learned from seeing some of the given answers. Maybe Joe's kid will also?

Best Wishes.

OK, maybe I was too blunt: but this was not "show me the way", but just "give me the answers". When a poster presents an apparently complete list of unrelated clues, particularly on behalf of a child, whilst their honesty is to be admired, and there are admittedly clues to be solved, I wonder if this is actually asking for help or just a means to acquire some undeserved credit.
