The Letter by Joe Sills December 1, 2016

Date:

Alex Chilton was 16 years old when it happened. Plucked from a high school talent show in Memphis, he was scooped up by a local band and weeks later found himself the voice of an international, number one hit.If you’re a little older than me, you’ll know the band. They were called The Box Tops, and Chilton’s first hit, “The Letter” got me thinking about the way notes can change the course of a day, a life or a relationship. “The Letter” reminded me of another note, this one written in ink rather than song, and penned to an independent tackle store this week. Here’s a copy of it:images
