Signed, titled, and dated to lower margin 'Neal Cassidy and his love of that year Natalie Jackson conscious of their roles in Eternity, Market Street. Cassidy had been prototype for Kerouac's late 1940's On the Road saga hero Dean Moriarty, in 1960's later he'd take the wheel of Ken Kesey's psychedelic-era cross-country bus "Further."
