The 54th album cover is definitely a bit silly, and my attempt at one of those "negative space" shapes, of you-know-what, naturally. Clumsily drawn in pencil and marker (probably old-fashioned CARBON PAPER to get an identical mirror shape) it represents some of the better efforts of my late adolescence. Probably drawn years before the music was made for it, the recording eventually was my 2nd all-Korg-M1 keyboard effort while at Penn State. A hot keyboard at the time, I made this using the second such keyboard I borrowed from someone as I hadn't yet bought my own. The innovation was the direct-line recording which eliminated the nasty his and signal degradation that plagued my "acoustic" recordings any sort of overdubbing, but this was at the expense of no longer having "real" instruments, and the most missed (for me at least) was the drums, not to return until I purchased a 4-track. Wait, I thought this was supposed to be about the cover art.....
