Text:

London
Probably November 29, 1970

Howard
This fucking guy is flipped out, man! I’ll be locked up!

?
Who, me . . . ?
Yeah, you too!
?
It was anti-semitic of me to bring it up
?
Why, you don’t like Jews, man?
?
Let me make it perfectly clear,
?
I don’t mind that you are Jew, stay out . . . Take your Bar Mitzvah man, and shove it
?
I never had a Bar Mitzvah
?
You ever had a Yamulka, man?
?
No, I wore one once, though . . .
?
I knew it
?
What’s wrong? You don’t like ’em, man? That was
?
my cowboy hat . . .
?

?
Just keep it out of my way, man, I don’t wanna see that Yamulka on stage ever . . .

?
Uh . . . well, I don’t know, man, that’d be sorta neat, not in this group of course, but tomorrow
?
Alright, alright . . .
?
Howard Kaylan World!
?
The Yamulka
FZ
Ha ha ha!
?
Dear Frank, thanks for paying a hundred twenty three dollars for my meal in Amsterdam, which I hated!
?
I mean it, man
?
I really enjoy playing in your little own ensemble
?
For a day or so
?
Thanks for bringing a little slice of sunshine into my life
?
Thanks for showing me how sh . . . shitty the music business could really be, I thought I knew
?
Thanks for make
?
worst bass player in the world
?
After six months with the Mothers I figured I’ve lost everything I’ve ever had
