about

I was gonna make this a "concept album" about Paterson the Town but I abandoned that idea because this was made largely in lockdown and I was very sad and tired all the time.

That said, if you're a nerd like me, this is the Library of Congress Folklife project that I was gonna steal everything from. (The Jarmusch movie's not bad either.)
