*Notes: Michael writes, “Saltchuck is a Chinook Jargon word from the Pacific Northwest, meaning ‘Sea’ or ‘Salt water body’. Fitting as a West Coast tune title, I thought.
“Chinook Jargon was a pidgin language developed between Natives and Europeans for trading purposes in BC (and Washington state too).”
