Mailing panel on verso. "The Club 47 once was a coffee house in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Jon was in the Boston folk-revival scene back in the early '60s, and he often used the versos of handouts and broadsides for his sketches. Jon worked at Club 47, part-time as the dishwasher and part-time as a musician. more information
