First Aid Kit, "Emmylou" & an Advanced Design Chevrolet


This from our correspondent in the Prairie provinces, the painter Alex Emond:


         "Saw this Chevrolet just off the highway in Dunmore, Alberta, fifteen minutes east of Medicine Hat. One can only imagine the reasons for painting the grill, etc. the same colour as your wife's toenails. Some combination of alcohol and an extra Y chromosome.
Still, it's not in bad shape; and paint can be changed. It looks a lot like your old ride
          "If you are in the mood for a Swedish sister act--and who isn't--check out the group "First Aid Kit" and watch/listen to "Emmylou" on yer Youtube .  
Remarkable harmony and a refreshing absence of vanity. It's a fine song." --AE
