Originally published in Analog, later collected in “Callahan’s Secret” (1986). Wherein Jake Stonebender, narrator and demon guitarist, finally discovers the exact cause of the accident that killed his wife and child, and which he had, until then, believed was caused by his faulty brake repairs. “I saved 20 bucks, easy”. This revelation involves time travel (a recurrent theme of the “Callahan’s Place” stories) but not by Jake." Thanks, Lynn
