page 76: JA Rogers on jazz - "It is just the epidemic contagiousness of jazz that makes it, like measles, sweep the block." (with end-of-chapter footnote ref to Alain Locke's contemporaneous anthology _The New Negro_ which seems to be kind of a touchstone - makes one think of the text for Jes' Grew, although obviously it isn't identical with it)(right?)
from an essay entitled "Jazz at Home" - here's a link to most of it

pg 85 Fats Waller (actually a song) "one never knows, do one?"

obtuse detournement of the lyric (afaict) to apply after a list of Wallflower Order underlings, the restiveness of whom is somehow curbed by the Wallflower Order's WWI surplus submarine (its presence intimidates? it's used for extrajudicial extractions?)

"one never knows, does one?
When love will come along
Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song
One never knows, does one?
The moment or the place
Then right before your eyes
Someone occupies your embrace
Someday look and you'll find
Two hearts were blessed
Someday fate may be kind
Pray for the future, hope for the best
One never knows, does one?
That's just the way it goes
All at once you hear "Hold me, caress me" and then
Love may come but when, one never knows."

pg 95: Wallace Thurman, "Harlem" (a play)
