Notes and references

Notes

  1. There may be some confusion between Andrew Christian Love, the NBC producer of this article, and Andrew Jackson Love (1911–1982), jazz singer with the Tune Twisters because of a column on December 9, 1976, in the Greater Oregon, by E.M. Mitchell saying that the two are one and the same. [18]
