VL--IV, "a gig of death" or Don't Take the Piano Player!

[Michael Bailey]

backtracking just a little bit,
I found it interesting that Z-man had musician friends in Hawaii.
Although, he doesn't actually call them "friends" does he?  "People he
knows"

so they like him well enough to get him the "gig of death" though not
well enough to let him in their band?

the viewing of passenger lists isn't really something I ever thought
of doing, or of an in-flight entertainer doing

But with the Kahuna Air episode,
basically we are taking a leap here through the sugary pane of reality
into magic.  aren't we?  Or driving into a tule fog? Everything up to
this point could've happened to me. Pretty much. ( I'm sure I'm
forgetting something)
KA one of those salient points where the magic counter begins clicking rapidly.

So those become relevant questions:
The "Priestly' Airlines, which is "always hiring', which flies
non-skeds into the East Imperial Terminal, hires Zoyd as piano player
on this 'gig of death'where 'the departed' do not match the arrivals
because something happened, in between, up there?
