This album was frequently on repeat during my childhood. My daughter is named after Leantha in Montana Song...some lyrics never leave you.

Just give a little rant about how you were listening to CMAT *before* she got popular - that's bound to convince them you're cool!

Angela Wright has a gorgeous essay, "Three Hundred Miles", in Vol. 11, No. 2 (Love) of the Irish Pages. (No link, I'm afraid, I'm old-school with most of my reading!)

Come Trailing Blood by Paul Smith

I was fortunate enough to do my work experience with him, Gerard! He allowed me the privilege of reading drafts for Ghost Voltage, and was kind enough to read my portfolio too. I have nothing but good to say about him, he's top tier in every respect!

Hats off to your dad! Excellent parenting 👏🏻

First pub my ma ever bought me a pint in 🥲 (though to my shame, I think it was a Coors Light...)
