I licensed this font about twenty years ago from an Italian designer, who had created it for C.P.Company, the Italian fashion brand. It was first used for the cover of In the Arms of Love and has graced many of my albums since then. 

Yes, from now on I plan to use my first name only. Since the album won’t be released to the usual digital services and since there won’t be a CD in stores, I can do whatever I want. :-)

      Yes. At first I was going to do upright acoustic only but then I changed my mind and told him anything goes. So mostly upright, including some bowing, but also fretless bass guitar. He is in great form. :-)

    Really appreciate the simpleness of the design with the O’s + image + colors + font…….and the name
    Rain Poems feels very symbolic combined with the rain and puddle on a road. Cool!
