Books
Yes, books. Well, book. Singular. But it's a start! After all, Dickens, Goethe, L. Ron Hubbard: they all started with single books. From tiny acorns grow the cluttering furniture of our lives.
Lyrics: The Book
Lyrics

We are proud to announce the release of LYRICS, a handsomely bound soft-cover print edition of all of KE's recorded writing. Richard Connolly has edited and designed this hip collection for Circumstantial Productions/CJK Design, which has also published the lyrics of writers like Dave Frishberg, Fran Landesman and Bob Dorough. The book is a must for serious collectors, for those doing research and for anyone who wants a keepsake.

Only a limited number of first edition copies have been printed, and each is hand-signed by KE.

Live in Chicago - Out Takes CD

The show must go on. Not available in stores, this special-release disc contains even more tracks from the Live in Chicago sets. Supplies are limited, so get your order in while we still have some left!
NOTE: I guess it's no longer a secret that we are supplied these very rare discs by none other than Kim Jong Il. Who is at the moment very much Kim Jong Ill. So until his (ah-um) temporary stroke resolves itself, there's a slight delay in the chain of acquisition. We are happy to take orders for them, but please be a bit patient: we will ship them to you as soon as we can (around the end of October (but don't tell the State Department this information came from us!)).

Charts
LH's comment on the charts: "These are copies of the actual charts we use in my own hand. That means these 'finished' sheets aren't totally complete by normal publishing standards. Most obviously, the lyrics aren't written on them. (Why rewrite them for the man who wrote them?) Sometimes there is no written melody. These are real 'working charts'. They're incomplete by design. A working band wants to be able to invent/change intros, endings, dynamic moments, who's laying out where, etc. as they develop their playing of a chart. By the time we know what we really mean to do in a piece, it is often different from what we had on paper at first and different from our recordings. So please consider these charts evidence of works in progress."

We all know where this chart belongs: on your music stand, and in your brain, leading to a drifting air, penetrating, suffusing, making all who hear it say to themselves, "Now, this is where I belong."

April In Paris Chart

The Seine's algae in full bloom, the stench of fresh poodle-poop absolutely EVERYWHERE, the incessant nee-naw of French police cars in the near distance... who doesn't love April in Paris?

Nature Boy Chart

Sometimes I find it amazing that Laurence's pen doesn't run out of ink, the way he scribbles down that notation.
