The Game of Love and Death(91)

Katy Cenname helped me with insight into the pilot’s mind. Larry Wixom provided helpful specifics about the Staggerwing. Milt Hinton’s thrilling bass music kept me company as I wrote, and Playing the Changes by Milt Hinton, David G. Berger, and Holly Maxson filled me with admiration and respect for musicians during the Depression and beyond. Jackson Street After Hours by Paul de Barros and Eduardo Calderon provided insight about the African American jazz legacy in the Pacific Northwest, and the Northwest African American Museum fed my imagination with real stories. All of the inevitable errors are my own, though, along with any insensitivity, misunderstanding, or other failure of language.
