I am looking at the artwork for the Live Mount Eerie 3xLP and it’s one of the most spectacular looking covers I’ve ever seen.

Austin was great, just how I’d remembered it being. Memphis wasn’t all that great, but the tour of Sun Studio made me feel close to the history of rock and roll, even though there was too much of a focus on Elvis and not enough on Johnny Cash for my liking. In Kentucky, we stopped off at the monestary where Thomas Merton lived and is buried and bought some of the Trappist made cheese and bourbon fudge. In West Virginia, we visited some very large…
