The I.s.a.i.d. Folio Derek Livingstone Murray

"The I. S. A. I. D. FOLIO is a project that really had no beginning. It is a compilation of works that I have created over a period of time dating back to 1991 when ?the picture of you? was penned. Since then I have written the charts and other songs, but without funds to record, needed a way to bring the works to light.

The idea of writing a novella to give insight and context to the songs became the winning concept to which adding the photos became the cherry on the sundae.

I liken the experience of this book to that of reading purple rain or any other such film about musicians. Entrenched, the novella, is far from being a literary masterpiece, rather a ?trashy? story that provides a utilitarian ?soap opera? backbone from which to hang the music"
