1939 November 14 Greetings from Little Rock

11/13/39(From Wikipedia)–Danny Fields (born Daniel Feinberg; November 13, 1939) is an American music manager, publicist, journalist and author. As a music industry executive in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, he was one of the most influential figures in the history of punk rock. He signed and managed Iggy and the Stooges, signed the MC5 and managed the Ramones, and worked in various roles with Jim Morrison, the Velvet Underground and the Modern Lovers. In 2014 The New York Times said, “You could make a convincing case that without Danny Fields, punk rock would not have happened.”[1]

Darling:

Arrived here in Little Rock, Arkansas at 10 last night, and we’re about to shove off again.  We stayed at the Y (MCA, not WCA, darn you).

1936 Packard

New YMCA Building Little Rock, AR.  We are driving a 1936 Packard!  Boy, it looks like the rich-bitch boys going to town.  Of course, when there’s three unshaven mugs, they think, “Oh, Chicago gangsters.”

Well, time to roll.  Will write again soon.

Lots of love to the sweetest angel on Earth.  Cy

P.S.  No ink available.  They only use it in matters of State in Arkansas.
