Open Mike,

Try again on:

2; No. 3 - right surname, wrong forename (not a playwright!); 6; 14 - yes and...; 16; 24 (plus the business partner = ?); 31 - earlier; 32 - the story and not the song; 33 - later, but not by much; 34 - you are way under; 35 earlier, but not by much; 36

Firecat, you could be right on 9 but my info source said no.
Try again with:

14 - yes and...; 16, 26 - you would know it if you heard it!,
31 - earlier, 32 - later but not by much, 33 - 6 years earlier, 34 - you are way under; 35 - earlier; 36; 37 - the writer not the singer.

Yorkshire Yankee,

Try again on:

6; 14 - yes and...; 20 - I stand corrected :-) , 31 - 5 years later;
32 - earlier - the story not the song; and you passed on a few at the end.

General comments/hints:

No. 6 - I'm looking for the place - which country does it now belong to?
No. 14 - there are two things done to the wine to make it mulled wine
No. 32 - It's not Gene Autry - when was the story created, not the song
Nos 31, 33, 35 are probably much earlier than you might think
No. 36 is the tough one - I had never heard of it either
