Background

...the title of the album is going to be Drowning Witch. A long time ago there was this guy called Roger Price who did this cartoon called Droodles and one of the pictures in the book was called "Drowning Witch." Right now we're in the process of trying to locate this guy to get permission to use the picture because this book came out in the '50s. I want to use the original picture.
