David S Day 12 vs. Mirkin (LLL)

 3/6 vs. Mirkin.

1. Bryan :(, D02. No idea here even though definitely at least partially American history. 
2. Nimbus :), D11. Given the cloud reference, I was guessing between nimbus and cirrus. And something about this kind of rang a bell for me. Not sure if I just guessed right or this was buried deep in my knowledge somewhere.
3. Folklore :(, D13. Ah, so gettable. Great question. 
4. Saxophone :(, D22. No clue at all. 
5. Sears :), D21. Love this question, too. 
6. Gibraltar:), D30. Straightforward geography question that should give Mirkin no problem.
