WOLF dear -
I should like to tell you something about what happened on CHARLOTTENBORG exhibition - maj, after you have gone
after you have gone
and Beuys too - too, I was alone in the sun and saw Addi - tut - Eric - thomas - Emmeth in some nice clothes you know that beautyful kind with some tales and white shit, I mean shirt to day, ofcourse - yes - it was black and looked very pretenteous and then they were reading very nice things, yes I saw it was real poets with very nice dictions and all people were very proud of listening and then I saw my chance and got my brown cello and went around with ti on the floor and made my piece: body and knocking in my normal and well singing clothes, it was very importent I said to my houskeeper next day, and emmeth was eating he's normal peanuts and eric was very formal, you know a strong formal style, maybe a little funny for me to look at, but never mind, maybe it was honesty, but emmeth was during the performance sitting in a corner, like Becket and I was very proud of him and he was my man, you know that contact which is so importent if a performance has to be better than it can be that day.
Now I need a whisky - - - - - go on =
thomas was giving some people in the audience on the benches some messages on small laps and eric gave them thumb tacks in their faces, thank you - tut was writing on a typrewriter, very fast, so very fast and a lot of word, I think: very beautiful sounds - Eric turned off the light and after ten very dark minutes he turned on again - Hello! he said, I believe and the audience saw that I had placed my table and cups, coffee and bench on the right place and now I began my coffee-piece opus 24 a, I had forgotten my sugar so the piece was only for people who loves cofee without sugar, but there was many of that sort of human beeing -
Then I went to Mallorca to get sun on the back of Lisa and to the VINO TINTO which is to seldom for my normal mouth and Lisa tried to forget - - -
Afterwards I went on with my music problems and found out that 1 + 1 = 2 and 2 + 2 = 4 and that it maybe was a way I saw too that one day and one day = two days, but it is not true, you know it yourself, but I said to myself: maybe it is wrong that it is not so, there are people who can say the word yes to my hypoteses, maybe it was a good foundation..
So one and one = 1 + 1 = 2 etc, and from now my music want to show myself and the world how to make the nowaday way of making: to play to day -
dear wolf: nice to meet you and your wife. have not seen Addi and Eric afterwards but I will remember your word, be charming and I had a nice feeling on the happening and no angry thinking
