    A handmade jacket created by yours truly! It takes me about 45 minutes to cut, glue, stamp, sign, and assemble each of these little masterpieces. Made from re-purposed materials, block-prints, and photographs from my Lake Superior travels. Includes digital download. I’ve made about fifty to date and am continually making new editions, always numbered, usually in batches of ten. The handmade album you receive WILL DIFFER THAN THOSE PICTURED!! But isn’t t that what you love about it??? Come to a show and they're $5 cheaper.

about

Music by Marlin Ledin. Lyrics by Marlin Ledin and Addy Evenson

lyrics

She meets you in an empty street with a bottle of wine. As she turns to face you, she asks for a cigarrette. She even says "please". She brings a heavy deck of cards, (go on) and her feet are bare. Her lovers become her enemies and from then on, they're only memories. Yes.

Like a beggar chooses life, like fireflies in the wind. Like a moth, in a summer breeze, like a moth in a warm summer breeze. They are only memories.

We stop at the waters edge. (Go on) A discovery is made. (Go on)

Well, with her hands in the clay, she walks through the grass, and shows her teeth, with the soil at her toes and earth in her hair the woman in the well climbs up, stone by... stone by stone.

You see a complicated thing. you see the source of all my rage. And it hurts, because I can't runaway. Because I can't run away. All her lovers become her enemies, and from then they're only memories. Yes.

about

Marlin Ledin Washburn, Wisconsin

Trying to find the crossroads where people, the wilderness, and music greet one another. Music is dear to me, and I try to write about what I know. Simple music for simple people is my only goal.
