I’d like to record my huge thanks to Marla Glen for allowing me to quote a portion of Ain’t That A Shame.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Anthony Sales, a real drummer, and Nick Hopper, a real bassist, for insights into those worlds.

Appreciation too to Jane Adams via The Literary Consultancy for comments on my previous draft.

I’d like to credit Freepik.com and Pixabay (original source: Pexels) for making available the images used on this website.

And finally a quiet shout-out to Claire H for some Millennial context, and Catherine F and Hannah L for their catchphrases and relentless encouragement to “just get it done.”
