as they say
Much Respect


Futures

This planet is all - Right
When I think of it ----

II. Trip in
Golden Gate Bridge ...to San Francisco my 2nd favorite city ...Hope
you're still w/me. I crossed to San Francisco and didn't Know it....But-
on to Daly (Daily) city --- Whoa..future ...This is where T. Williams
passed..
Now. We take 15 mins./ and a great HAight breakfast/
and good news-/ pictures... The crooked street.

The gig
To go to Slim's....
I LIKE IT. ---love IT- people-word-drums

friendly.. Radio showed. Press showed..Time for sleep 7:00 interview.

The Vibe : Meeting. Quote "I played for You who I know Love
and always will. You are San Francisco CA.. A spirit of the West Coast
--- Eyes - pure & True --- Living & Now." so much to see..

Speechless ---- They love this much and I thank you.
You hear my work; I think .... OK and now we go to the
Nine's and mostly (LOVE) ..... 7:00 am w/interview (#2) is great and

Route 1 passes ... Food is music.
Music is sleep and my friend Vance (of Sonic)
has recorded this.
I'm changing with fantasy nearby.

Moving on & Return to NY (east coast J.F.K.)
I'm writing the poetry on
a Vagabond stationary ... my wife and son will Love
this - I
thought, and again/The encores and stand-up was so beautiful...
No wonder. San francisco --- is so Hooker, William
and US.
(do you understand)
Planning
The musicians were great and this has been a
trip to me new (gold) and great old (diamonds) --- Hoping, yet
Knowing - almost ... This music & the
