Wow! You live in a city that's DOUBLE the size of Chicago? Man, that's huge! I've visited Chicago many times & still couldn't find my way around! You can probably tell that I've never been to NYC (don't want to either)
Yeah, I was through in Chicago at the end of March. It is big but I kinda liked it. St Louis had a nice vibe to it - it is a good size. I was surprised to find it has only half the population (300, 000) of Glasgow, Scotland.
Well then, congratulations are in order! I hope you like living in Chicago. Have you ever been there? It's a bit too big for me. I like the size of St. Louis better. Tis funny that your future father-in-law is a Cubs fan. Wear your Cardinals caps proudly!
Nah, I'm from Scotland. My first visit to the US was to St Louis though - my friend's sister-in-law got married to a guy from St L and we all went along, kilts and all. Had a ball. Great town. And now it is my turn to get married - to a Chicago gal. Her dad is a Cubs fan so that'll be good....
Actually the art work on the cover (as well as t-shirts) are my least favorite thing about Jay's work. Dating back to Son Volt, I just don't like any of it. I guess I am more into Steve-Earle-like art work.
Yeah it is. It's the most simple one, but it's very cool. I guess Straightaways was pretty simple too. I really like the cover art on Jays solo stuff by Jim Ward Morris. Who did the art for Trace and Straightaways???
