This is such a strange weekend for me. The joy of having my daughter born, and grief at Jay's death. Jay era Wilco was the backdrop of my coming of age. I emailed him regularly, asking him for advice, talked about his new albums, etc.. he was such a kind, generous soul. The following email probably isnt of interest to anyone that IS NOT a gearhead...but I feel that it really captures the essence of what Jay was about. Man, I miss the guy... here is a conversation I had with Jay a couple months ago. Probably not of much interest to non-gear heads, but it shows how generous and kind the guy
