Always wanted to see a show there - gonna try.

That's good, I like Spader.

It's been 10 years since I last saw Bennett play. Damn shame.

I don't think he moved back - he played the Chicago Theater last week. The song he wrote about the Cubs is pretty cheesy - but then again the Cubs are pretty cheesy.

Did anybody catch Dave Douglas' Brass Ecstasy - curious to know your thoughts - read they did a Wilco cover.

I was flipping through the Jack Johnson Session's booklet again this morning and forgot that there are quotes from Nels.

Never heard of Stetson - cool shot of him playing on his website. I need to check him out. Forgot to write, listening to:

When I think of 120 Minutes, Kevin Seal comes to my mind - it was fun to watch.

Well that's a bit odd, not sure if it was a wise decision, though. Perhaps he just didn't want too make another trip back to Chicago, to many bad memories.

In addition to A-Man's suggestions: Empire Burlesque World Gone Wrong (all solo acoustic cover songs)

Sounds like an awesome trip - safe travels.

Yeah, it was 1984 on XRT' Flashback this morning and of course they mentioned Goodman's passing. The wife, kid, and I spent a good part of this morning watching some clips of his performances on the computer. He was a hell of a guitarist, too - my wife mentioned his smile. Good stuff.

Steve Goodman wrote some great, funny songs.

How do you like the new Cline,Berne, Black disk, $3.63? I haven't gotten around to get it, yet.

Nice interview, now I understand why Dave Douglas is playing Solid Sound. Margherita needs to book him in Chicago more often.

It's a good version, nice long slide solo by Rich. Before the song, Chris mentions that they recently played the song with Gregg Allman and they have been playing it since.

It's nice sounding tape. Nice banter: "You know you are in Los Angeles, when you smell the expensive stuff."

Somebody uploaded this show recently, a Chicago radio station played this show back then and I taped it. I misplaced it ages ago - it nice to hear again. I think I like the present sounding Crowes more, though.

Never heard of Pancake, before. He seems interesting, I will check my neighborhood book stores, today. It's been music bio's over the last few weeks.

It's great that he is passing through Chicago and Lincoln Hall is a great venue, too.

White Sox’ Mark Buehrle says he may have a few more years left (Sun-Times) Hopefully he sticks with the White Sox, too. One of my all time favorite players. Great quote:

I always chuckle when I hear Dylan sings the below:

Yeah, I missed them - stupid work computer with no speakers.

Sounds good - you should put the info in LouieB's Going to Chicago thread. I can't remember the last time I was in Cicero.

Did you make it to any of the days, Lou? We made it for a few hours Sat. afternoon. Nice crowd, decent music. Lot's of older people there, who sneaked in their beer which made me laugh a bit. A good mix of crowd, though. These guys will be playing here in Chicago on June 28th with Material re-Issue (formerly MaterialIssue) - a free show. Should be fun. I suppose I should write that I am drudging through an eight disc set of The Stones "Satanic Sessions". Some of it is interesting.
