Dear Creem:

I have been trying to write the Lighthouse article for two weeks now, but everytime I write it they plan something new that just has to be included, like the three weeks that they played with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in June, or the appearance before the queen in July.

I had one written until they got booked for the Boston Globe Jazz festival and I couldn’t miss that one, could I?

After Boston, I wrote another and almost got it to the mail box before they made me waste the stamp by playing free at Homesburg State Prison which is one of the major political prisons in the United States.

Sol rewrote it and I said all those things and how Ralph Cole used to be in the Thyme and how skip played with the paupers and about the strings and brass and classical/jazz/rock and Atlantic City Pop Festival and R.C.A. Records spending a fortune and I read it and tore it up.

Then I wrote Lighthouse plays for peace and I wrote John Lennon and Rabbi Feinberg and thirteen pieces and smiling and love and peace and read it and tore it up.
