Lou & Peter are some of the all round niftiest wordslingers in any universe near you. What folks who only know them through their songs may not realize is that they're also visual artists, who met in art school. As an undergraduate, Lou studied with the same textile artist who was my gradschool mentor.

Through the years, there have been various "Berryman Berryman" songbooks that are visual giggles to go along with the lyrical guffaws. I believe Peter is the main book designer, complete with having created his own font that is used in the books and on album information. The songbooks are graced with cartoons, photos, all sorts of wacky images. My favorite is from the first book I got from them ages ago - the illustration for "A Chat with your Mother" is a photo of a soft sculpture of a mouth with bar of soap on a railroad car on the way into the mouth. Lou shares my love of beads and beadwork & I've done beadwork with her back stage at a couple festivals.
