The A Cappella Handyman: A CD Adventure!

June 7, 2018 by Peter Bray Leave a Comment

Here it comes, 34 pages of fun! I started thinking last year of an exhibit of my poems and graphics in the Marilyn O’Rourke Gallery in the Benicia City Library. BUT, all that framing and labeling and storage afterwards, why NOT just put out a CD of 34 pages, the hand-picked best of my monthly “Taproot & Aniseweed” and its periodic alternative “The Naked Oyster?” So, this week marks its kickoff! The pages are selected, the editing is all done, the pdf exists on my Mac hard drive, and it’s time to drive it all out into the light of day!
And this is a grassroots operation! The CD disks and cases and labels will come from Office Max in Vallejo. I’ll label them through my HP printer here at home, and course they’re For Sale too! Sales tax, if applicable, mailing envelopes, and labels to anywhere on the planet for a convenient $21.95! And Herald column readers and Facebook friends and followers can help this Go Viral and who’s to know how sensational all this can all be? Are there NOT poet-Moguls lurking about everywhere contributing their vast sums to Hedge Fund political maneuvers globally? Check out the flyer, and Enjoy! – Pedro
