So I've been thinking

[ericcoleman]

Which is always a bad thing for everyone involved.

I have pretty much settled on the name for the next CD. I Had To Suffer For My Art, Now It's Your Turn seems to be the audience favorite. It's an old joke, but so am I.

I am still thinking about the covers CD. I think I have the perfect name for it.

I was out with the wife indulging in her favorite drug ... Karoake.

I did some Bowie, some Psychedelic Furs. And friend said "well you certainly pulled those out of your book of weird".

So, if I finally get around to recording the covers CD, it will be called

Eric's Book Of Weird.

I hate to be a drag, but that's a very long CD title. (I say this as part of the team responsible for "Tom Smith and His Digital Acoustic Compilation", which is called all sorts of things for short.)

Have you considered titling the album "Your Turn" (in large letters) and placing the rest of the title above it in much smaller lettering?

I Had To Suffer for My Art, Now It's

Your Turn

I kinda like that idea.

The current cover idea is for

I Had To Suffer For My Art to be on the top of the front cover above a picture (yes this one will have a recognizable picture of me on the front, a certain someone's wife has berated me enough about the last CD cover) and my name below

and

Now It's Your Turn above a parody of a 50s LP back cover with a wonderful picture that braider took of me at OVFF with my back to the camera and someone pointing at me

With I Had To Suffer For My Art - Eric Coleman on the spine most likely to be out on a shelf and

Now It's Your Turn - Eric Coleman on the other spine.

But this could all change.

Now I'm going back to listening to Steve Goodman ... who I finally bought a CD by

I like those :)

Tho i bet i'll like them even more when they're actually in my hands *grin*

yes, i know i'm pushy :) Isn't it nice to have fans?

[ericcoleman]

pushy ... I would never call you pushy

I'd be afraid you'd hurt me

But seriously, I am starting work as soon as some money comes in (any day) so I can buy a couple of new mikes. So basic track work should start in a week or two

[xap]

wooHoo! Titles _and_ timeplans *cheers*

[ericcoleman]

It won't be ready for Duckon (although the covers CD might be) since Andy (fiddle/mandolin) won't be available to record till the semester is over (and probably a bit more for him to work out parts).

Fans?

I thought we were stalkers.

[xap]

shhhhhhhhhhhhh! they're so much easier to stalk when you don't warn them :)

[ericcoleman]

Yeah ... Real Freakin Sneaky

Re: <i>Thus began the stalking of ericcoleman</i>

[xap]

well, you have to start SOMEWHERE *grin*

think of it as a learning experience :)

[freeimprov.livejournal.com]

But so much more fun when you do!

Besides, if they can't figure out they're being stalked, you're not really doing the job.

Who originally said that, the "now it's your turn" joke?

[ericcoleman]

The first time I heard it was Neil Innes. It might have been in the intro for a song on Secret Policemen's Other Ball but I would have to go digging to make certain.

Hey Eric,

I'm very thoroughly enjoying the CDs of yours which I recently acquired. I can't believe it took me this long to get around to buying them...

[ericcoleman]

Thank you, it's very very nice to hear that.
