It'll
take a little time to decide that. All I get is $9.00 a week.
I'll only be working 5 weeks (maybe less) and that will only
give me $45.00. My plane fair is $46.00. Which means I have
to skimp. I'll only have $17.00 left after you, and about $15.00
to last me till September. I have to pay for everything I need.
(toothpaste, kleenex, things like that) I guess I'll have to
stop spending.
Well, there's really not much more to tell you except that
the weather has been HOT and its so dry here it's awful.
I have to go to Assiniboine park to meet a friend now, so
I'll sign off now.

July
26 Thursday
Saw
'Chick Corea' and 'Focus (94)'
at the Capitol Theatre, Donna treated
Ralph and I. We sat in the balcony (center section, row F,
seat 105). The amps of both bands were picking up opera from
CKVL-FM. Ralph took photos.
From
the Gazette review by Bill Mann:
"...The
steamy theatre was full of people whose level of musical and
social awareness was higher than at most shows: people sat
down, applauded after good solo breaks, and didn't rush the
stage or throw Roman candles, a la Forum...
Focus
is headed up by two good-natured Amsterdamers, Jan Akkerman
and Thijs Van Leer. The latter is an amazing vocalist, an
interest keyboard man, and a true virtuoso on the flute. In
short, he makes you forget about Jethro Tull: this band has
little excess to continually get rid of...
...Focus
will likely be around for a long time, and justifiably so..."
Letter
from Gillian to Ralph, postmarked Leicester, 4 PM, 26 July,
1973
Dear
Ralph;
Don't tell Harvey that I am not making use of her generous
gift [Cathy Harvey had apparently
given Gillian writing paper; this letter was an aerogram]
but it costs 2 1/2 P (6 1/4 cents) more to send her letters.
By the way I do have another adress [sic]. (See
return adress, dummy!) Thanx for the letter. You know how
nice it is to recieve [sic] them when you're far away.
As I expected, the only two of the
94. I first remember Focus from the summer of 1972, with their
song 'Hocus Pocus'. Ralph also had the album with that song
on it, 'Moving Waves'. This album was apparently released in
1971, but the US release was not until December 1972.
