CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10

ZIMMY:

I prefer the Chicago Jazz Fest which will start on Sept. 4th thru the 6th. (All the Grant Park fests are good). If you see a slightly older gentleman wearing a fine straw hat and puffing on a premium cigar walking with a lady 30 years younger - well, that would be me.

I just left the Taste of Poland. I had a good time, but it was warm out there...it probably didn't help that I was eating and drinking, but I had a good time.

I heard about this...it really got to me. Seems she had just performed not that long ago. She is going to be missed.

You know being from Louisiana originally and living in Texas for awhile before moving here to Chicago...I want to hear the difference between Chicago Jazz and New Orleans Jazz. I can tell you this much...there's a big difference in Delta Blues and Chicago Blues.
