4-Star Grid

 
Lamb kin   EWE [note two words]
Foot massage expert?   POET [that’s poetical feet]
Chocolate companion?   LAB [kind of dog]

 
Need to know music for this one:  ADUE & STRETTO, and tougher yet is that STRETTO abuts ASTROLAT!
And just to make it interesting, we had to know EVAS were space walks; ACADIA was a French division 300 years ago; and ECOTONE is an eco zone.
  Plus I’m not sure about PARC.

Yet the puzzle was fun, especially the three highlighted entries.

RATING:    Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
