Thanks! Reading back through others' observations, I see a theme that I missed emerging. So could 6 be Dorothy Donegan? And could 12 involve Jane Ira Bloom in some capacity?  

Photo of King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band while on tour in Oakland, California in 1921. They were performing at an establishment called “The Entertainer Club”. Personnel from top to bottom: King Oliver (holding his cornet), Honore Dutrey (trombone), Ed Garland (bass), Johnny Dodds (clarinet), Lillian “Lil’” Hardin (piano) and Baby Dodds (drums).

in some cases rewriting a story is an offence, have no clue about if that's the case. The Shining is also different from the book but i still like it ! I believe they mention it is based on the Novel.
