I was talking to my photographer friend. I told him that I wanted him to lend more of his photography to the second leg - I consider him one of the great undiscovered photographers in the area. And as I was describing my still-forming ideas, I said, “You know, dark reds and purples.” He asked, “Oh, is that the title?” And I said, “Well, maybe it is.”

Well folks, I like it too much to reject it. I just hope we don’t have to take a bunch of red and purple pictures now. Whatever we come up with will be fantastic though. I will be previewing the songs for him, so that he can visualize with me. He will be responsible for more than just the cover shot this time - I told him that you all very much loved that picture. This time he will help me design the entire package.

I love it when artists combine their powers to make an entire package that works together as a single piece of creation. I’m conditioning myself to share with you. I’m thinking that the third leg will have a hand-drawn cover. It’s too early to say why. But it’s not too early to say that I might like to work more closely with you.
