Dear David comma

Dear David,

How to start? I’m 68 and feel every bit of 69. My hair is longer than yours but not gray. My WASP punishment, I guess. 

Thought this would be a good focus for me somehow, writing to you and talking about music. Even though I don’t think you are mostly about music. Good way to start a conversation though. 

Who have I seen, live, in person, on stage, all that? Not many. Not really. But I’m old so it adds up. Stones five times, to get the obvious out of the way. Other folks too. Tell you about them by and by. 

Not gay by the way. Much the reverse to my occasional dismay. Thing is, I think I can tell you things I’ve never told anybody before. Which makes you materiel. 

Because I am first, last, and foremost a writer..
