This is a scan of the picture before being treated digitall to suppress the picture on the OTHER SIDE of the page which is "bleeding through" the thin paper.  

The picture is a insightful self-characterization - a little bit of madness in the face, the eyes, the forehead, the hair, the hand in the pocket - what is the holding small people with some falling?

Is this significant?  He says here (in 1980) "and NOW I write songs".   This may be a conscious landmark that he was no longer only an artist of pictures and characterizations, comics, and quibs, but he was seeing himself in a new light - someone who writes songs.

He had for years actively been making music, and high school artifacts evidence that a half dozen or so co-students were identified by Daniel as "member in his band".

But we don't have much recorded evidence prior to 1980.  Maybe there is more to be found.

Okay, what is that drawing on the OTHER SIDE of this page?   NEXT PAGE
