    "Every bird has hit the road this morning, and everything you know will pass away."
    .
    Originally illustrated in India ink and inspired by my song of the same name, "Pass Away" is now available in a limited edition of one-hundred 11x17 screen prints on beautiful antique paper, signed and numbered by the artist.
    .
    The four types of paper (from the top down in the group pictures) include:
    .
    1) "Termites," which has a beautiful subtle blue tint, and is slightly gnawed upon by antique termites. (You can see the tiny holes in the second photo above.)
    .
    2) "Matte" is a heavy stock of smooth white paper with a clean finish.
    .
    3) "Textured" has a heavy texture and a manila color, just the sort of thing you think of when you say "cool old paper."
    .
    4) "Linen Gloss" has a beautiful, threaded, linen-looking finish, and the ink really shines.
    .
    (You can see the texture of all four papers, and how the ink behaved with them, very well in the third photo.)
    .
    The antique paper was generously donated by Drew Burk of Spork Press, and the prints were silk-screened by Jeik at Tanlines Printing, both here in sunny Tucson, AZ.

lyrics

We can pack your troubles with us, all along the way. Strong to carry all you give us, all along the way. Who’s that dancing behind the curtain? Oh my, Oh I can’t be certain. But a fire will light the sky, all along the way.

Dirty clothes and accusations, all along the way. Back door cataract machinations, all along the way. Little demons with their fiddles … oh my, oh I’m in the middle, but I love that tune they play, all along the way.

Oh my oh my it’s hot in here. Oh my oh my it’s freezing. Oh my oh my, by the birds in the sky you know we’re almost home.

Set one up for the One-Eyed Father, all along the way. It’s blood for oil and it’s oil for water, all along the way. There’s no pattern in the cloth we weave, but oh my, oh I still believe in the dead man’s map and the big black “X” I carry all along the way.

Oh my oh my it’s hot in here. Oh my oh my it’s freezing. Oh my oh my, by the birds in the sky you know we’re almost home.
