The Jayhawks: Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Jose Mijares, Joe Nathan, and Jason Kubel. The Minneapolis group sings the song that best describes the way they are making Twins fans feel this season.

Or it is the 1995 Jayhawks line up on the John Stewart Show? It is one or the other.

i dunno. my early impression is this is what simon and garfunkel might have sounded like in their early years if they were swedish sisters (hell, they kind of look like simon and garfunkel if they were swedish sisters).

Once he finally sets up some gigs at Minneapolis you had better believe at least a couple of you are going to go. Or I am going to guilt the heck out of you in hopes of making you attend.

This track shows off Peter Cox' fine vocals; all this torch song is missing is a smoky speakeasy. I had a great week -- thanks for playing along.
