true.true. heal & toe is definetly Cassady tho he couldnt heal & toe he was
double left. ref Sterling Moss right fot technique for braking without
decellerating. i recommend Neal Cassady's The First Third published
posthumously & still in print by Silly Flights er city lights books sf also
Marcel Proust starting with Swann's Way the old purpler translation by CK
Scott Montcrieff.
