How about some help here people for the rest of us who are stuck please?
[2] I either agree with you. Or I'm bitter because I'm not seeing a trend.
I think I see what to do, but I can't answer all the clues properly

A little extra cluing to help with some of the above:
Wet, moist... My Pa didn't go to church, but my ** ***
Center of violins... violin city

This puzzle is for champion-level crossword solvers only, I feel. (No salt, just an observation.) I think only a scant handful of the answer words are at all common parlance, and very tough to find, even with google.
