Coal
Dust, Rust & Saw Dust!
(3-4-2009)
What
is it? It's my first book! Actually, it is my good friend
Van Wagner's first book!
Van
approached me about a year ago about putting together
this book for him. It's a collection of his essays and
songs on a variety of subjects including Pennsylvania
history and environmental heritage, logging, coal mining,
charcoal making, iron foundries and more! Van asked
me to lay out the book and include some of my ghost
town photos that would tie in. I also created the cover
which is based on actual photos of the log raft re-enactment
story, included in the book.
After
months of toiling with Adobe InDesign (and 252 Photoshop
layers later, for the cover), the book is ready for
sale! It is available for purchase from Van's website,
www.vanwagnermusic.com
(*see below). The book comes with a 2 CD set with the
28 songs included in the book.
We're
having an official book release party at Brews
N' Bytes Coffee Shop in Danville, PA on April 25th
at 7:00pm!
