Shining Sunbeam Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi Everyone, I'm glad to have found a Wilco forum. I've lurked and posted for years on Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Dylan forums under the screen name Travellin' Slim, but I thought I'd change things up a bit here and go with Shining Sunbeam. Who can make the Wilco connection to my screen name? Slim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shining Sunbeam Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Indeed, a Shining Sunbeam is a kind of hummingbird! I saw them when I was in Ecuador on a birdwatching trip in '97. I have to wonder if Tweedy has some fascination with birds. I've got a long way to go to become intimately familiar with the Wilco catalog, but some quick observations... A song called 'Hummingbird' A song called 'One Wing', with obviosu references to birds Sky Blue Sky CD cover with a flock of birds A Ghost is Born CD cover with an egg Are there more?
