A Weekend, Chicago…so, Go See a Show!
The weekend has finally arrived. It is going to be a relatively nice weekend in the ol’ Windy City. While I have always said that going to a jazz or blues club is best when the weather is crap, it’s also great when the weather is nice. You can walk to many of the clubs downtown and if you have to wait outside for the place to open it’s no so bad. Granted, they are also calling for some rain on Friday night, but why quibble.
Thanks and credit always has to go to radio station WDCB for the information that I give you here. I have no idea where I would be without their interns or students or whomever actually maintains their website.
