Interview with The Northstar Session: What it’s like in the shadows of Breakfast in America

 

So, before I take you back to 1978, or 1979 (I forget which), I need to remind you to go see The Northstar Session on Dec. 17, (that’s this year, 2010) at Double Mountain. This should be a good show, and I hope to see you there.

I’m sure, that no matter what the era, parents have always wondered what the heck kids are listening to — and this instance for me may have been my first parental musical inquisition.

When I brought home this particular record, my mom looked at the cover, and said something to the effect of “Now what the heck are you listening to?”

I just couldn’t understand it. All that was on the cover was a picture of a smiling waitress posing as the Statue of Liberty, with various egg and milk cartons arranged in the shape of New York City.

Now, here I am, some 30 years later, interviewing some guys who just recorded in the SAME STUDIO that album was recorded in.

So, guys, I totally understand if you break into a 15-minute jam of Supertramp’s “Take the Long Way Home.” :)
