Photos from the US road trip

So we're back after our 3000 mile American road trip that started and ended in Minneapolis and took in Albert Lea, Clear Lake, Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, Memphis, Clarksdale, St Louis, Hannibal, Fort Madison, Davenport and Dubuque plus a lot of other towns along the way. Here are some music related photos from the trip. The above photo shows Los Straitjackets above and Wasted Major below, at the Turf Club in Minneapolis.
