Liber Actorum by The Duchess Elizabeth von Teig
A final farewell release from The Duchess commemorating the years of my life I spent being her. These were cut shortly after the release of Working Class Duchess as I was thinking through where I wanted to take the persona next. The other songs I wrote during that will likely find homes somewhere, but the traditional folk direction I'm heading in doesn't have room for these two songs so I wanted to get them out now. If you have problems with the audio I'm sorry, I switched to Ubuntu and can't reopen the Ableton files they were made in.

Thanks to:
- Danny Pepper, LIz Kyer, Ethan Mackler, Sonny Jim Clifford, Conor Ryan Hennessey, Jocelyn Limmer, and the whole Devlin's Open Mic scene that TimKO fostered where I cut my teeth as a songwriter.
- T$, Owen, Sarah, Geneva, John, Antonio, and the other Future Serial Killers Of America, as well as Rene Gauthier, Bill Murray, Beth McCoy, Kristy Garvey, Robin Kirkpatrick, and Bill Carroll. Wouldn'ta made it out of here without you.
- Don "Reindeer" Johnson, Don Westrich, Didar Khalsa, Aegis and Jeff Scott Brown, Fern Forrest, Henry LaVallee, Sloan Wainwright, the late Jill Sobule, the memory of Happy Traum, the Thompson family, and everyone else at Frets and Refrains who crowned me Camp Duchess.
- Amanita, Spacecothe, and Calamity for teaching me so much about the obtuse and arbitrary fabric of reality. You guys made me who I am.
Special thanks to Holly Swift, I don't know who I'd be if we'd never met. I hope you feel the same about me
Written and performed by The Duchess Elizabeth von Teig
Dedicated to Wynne Williams. You were the love of my life, even if it was a life that ended before I did.
