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

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?
