Well over forty years since David Bowie became a well known artist (now legend), a letter has surfaced online of what appears to be a response to his first fan letter from the great United States of America.
The letter that started it all was written by Sandra Dodd (Sandra Adams, back then) who was a 14 year old fan from an unknown location in the states. Bowie’s writing is sincere and gives you brief glimpse at Bowie before he had the world in his hands for the taking.
The letter’s on PITT stationery which was the manager’s stationery (Kenneth Pitt). Oddly Sandra never bought another Bowie album as her musical tastes had shifted toward folk music. Can you blame her though? The hippie revolution was about to start without her.
