"Sweet Thursday" is the third volume of the Cannery Row trilogy by John Steinbeck. After leaving France in all kinds of clashes and hurries, David Ivar felt that in his new home in San Pedro, California, he had found his own Cannery Row.
The people of "Sweet Thursday" are not consumed by greed or material wealth, but they are hungry for love, sex, music and wine...
After years of "working" and "touring" for the "Rock & Roll Industry" it was time for David Ivar to take a step back and live the Rock & Roll life instead.

The difference between a recording mastered for Vinyl, and K7 and a digital file is a fundamental one. The pleasure of putting a record on your turntable, or inserting a tape in your car's stereo is toppled by a sweet, warm sound that only analog media can convey.
A Vinyl record is big, and so is the Jacket it comes in, which gives great space for nice Album Art, lyrics. A nice vinyl jacket is like a nice work of art you can hang above your fire place.

David Ivar's own 1992 Toyota 4Runner has the sweetest K7 Deck he's ever had. He re-discovered albums by Van Morrison, Bob Dylan or Lucinda Williams through this medium and cherishes everyday anew...

David Ivar "Yaya" is also well known as a visual artist.
He had to find something visual, physical, that people who listen to "Sweet Thursday" on their phones, on their computers, or who would stream it could set their eyes upon.
The enamel pin shows Yaya and his cat Morrison, like on the album cover. It comes with a wallet-size card with the album art, and the album info.
Wear the Pin to show you heard "Sweet Thursday" first, and keep the card with you for when you stream or download the album!
