   Just for the record, the album is called "I Can See Your House From Here."
The cover has a space-suited figure hanging over the Earth in a zero gee
crucifixion.  It's a modernization of a joke that goes something like this:

   Jesus is hanging on the cross, feebling whispering for Peter.
   "Peter... Peter...", whispers The Lord.
   "Yes, Lord", answers Peter expectantly, hoping to hear some Great Truth or
Wisdom.
    "Peter... I can see your house from here." says the Lord.
