Footnotes

Provenance:
In 1993 the vendor was travelling on a flight to L.A. sitting across the aisle from David Bowie. The vendor initiated contact with Bowie as they shared a mutual friend, Woody Woodmansey, who was Bowie's drummer in the Ziggy Stardust period. The vendor wrote to Bowie on behalf of Woody on the back of a Virgin Atlantic beauty therapy promotional card. Bowie returned it with the various alternations showing his typical quirky humour. Woody eventually got the message, and told the vendor to keep the card.
