Lyrics, Russell Scott Day

These lyrics were all on scraps of paper hanging by clothespins off wires draped from hooks behind my head. I used them to improvise from when playing instruments I had made. I was scheduled to perform September 24, 2017 and felt I needed some help creating a great performance. This book is it. (The performance was done and I added a few lyrics I'd found on tape that had never been written down. Song of Sissy in particular. It is written here as it was performed for a recording, so it's format reflects how it was performed, not particularly as would make it a poem.) Of issues about the performance I can say 30 minutes of stage time was not enough with set up and load out. That I had no working monitors meant I couldn't hear what I was doing which forced me to simply give up playing my instruments and just sing.
