The piano itself had at one time belonged to the wife of the original Sutter, the white former owner of their family... and decades earlier, Berniece and Willy Boy's grandfather had, at the slave master's instructions, carved the black family's African tribal history and American slave history into the piano's surface.

One of the opposing players, 'Esquire' Joe Calloway (Stan Shaw), is so good that they recruit him.
