Description

“If you want to make symphony orchestras popular with the hoi polloi, it seems you have to add fountains, fireworks, and cannon”

TLS signed “Greer,” one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, December 7, 1961. Letter to Johnny Green. In part: “Buddy wants me to fly to Dallas…This card describing the program of what turned out to be an enormously successful concert (some 30,000 in the audience), I tore up, but have pasted together again because I thought it would really amuse you. If you want to make symphony orchestras popular with the hoi polloi, it seems you have to add fountains, fireworks, and cannon, yet! You might want to try this out at the Hollywood Bowl some time and perhaps Vandenburg Base will oblige by launching a missile or two for climactic effects!” The aforementioned card is staples to the reverse top left corner, with three additional detached pieces. In fine condition, with aforementioned staple and small area of paper loss to top edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
