I was chatting with Jef Murray about how his talks at ALEP 2: There & Back Again.  They sound awesome!

• “A Journey through Middle-earth: Paintings and Sketches of Tolkien's World”
• “Fanning the Secret Fire: Sub-Creation as a Spiritual Journey”

Jef designed the limited-edition t-shirt that was sent out to some of the Sponsors of Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits.  Since I wasn't able to finish the album in time, I decided to use his design also on a limited-edition CD cover that will be sold exclusively at ALEP.  Special copies will go to Guardians of the Shire and up!
