“Parts & Labor” lyric booklet (10 copies left!)
By kevin gordon | Published: October 19, 2011
Happy Wednesday–
Just wanted to let you know that I have 10 copies left of a special home-made lyric chapbook that I put together for a recent songwriting workshop at Landhaven. It’s 27 pages; the cover is 100% recycled chipboard from the fine folks at Rebinder. I designed and printed these via my trusty iMac.
I’ll include a photo of the contents page–basically it’s a brief overview of some of the songs I’ve written over the last 18 years (including five from the upcoming release, Gloryland). There are final versions of lyrics, as well as scans of early drafts of some of those lyrics. This is just a sliver of a beginning of what I hope will become a larger project. If you’re interested, just click on the “Add to Cart” button below.  I’m happy to sign them, too.
To be shipped to:
United States $10.00
Outside the US $13.00

It’s AMA week here–the annual festival/conference and fundraiser for the Americana Music Association. I saw a few folks from out of town last night–I forget what a boost it is to see you all here, bringing fresh energy to the proceedings, and reminding us sometimes-jaded natives that there is a lot to be excited about around here.
RE: this week, I’m on a panel today at the conference, about “fan funding”, at 2 pm. Talking about Kickstarter and the like; I’ll be sharing info about my own experiences with the ongoing Gloryland campaign. Having never served on a panel like this, this could offer extra entertainment value for those of you who attend, watching me try to put articulate sentences together under the bright lights, without music. Also on the panel will be one of the Gloryland sponsors, a fan and friend from Iowa, Mark Gerking. If any other spons
