1962293971Hollywood 1962. unbound. very good. Fine content T.L.S. 4to 1 page Hollywood California December 12th 1962 to singer Jerry McLain attempting to give him musical advice without hurting his feelings in full: "I would be certainly glad yo give you advice but never hearing you singing and not knowing how far you are in the knowledge of works in general their spirit and technique I am in difficulty if not in impossibility to help you. The transposition of the Shakespearean songs in a higher or lower key is a ruin of my instrumentation and the piano reduction of them is not for a concert performance only for the study of the music."
