Well, I DID IT, Folksizzz! I completely INTELLECTUALLY DISSECTED the first chapter of DEVIL MAKE A THIRD. Fifty-two footnotes and that's only for the "antiquated phrases and colloquialisms"! (I'd already done all the characters and scenes ~ ONLY 32 MORE CHAPTERS TO GO!) What really shows you just how DEEP Duggie Bailey made his novel DEVIL MAKE A THIRD is when he ENDS the first chapter with two references to CUSH, a loving tribute to his Uncle Dan Baker. I'd never heard of CUSH in my life and I was brought up in Dothan but CUSH was the old-timey name for CORNBREAD DRESSING. Dan Baker, the model for the character of JEFF BANNON in the novel was the promoter of the DOTHAN CUSH CONTEST from 1933 up until his death in 1954.
