Jazz & Blues Lounge

There are more concerts and performances this weekend in Chicago and the suburbs.  It looks to be a very nice and warm weekend, and hopefully the rest of it will be earthquake free.  Still, if you are dancing in a blues or jazz club, you may not even notice it when the earth shakes.  I only felt the aftershock myself, not the one that hit at 4:30 in the morning, but evidently those of you in the high-rise apartments dowtown felt that earlier one.  Guess there is a price to pay beyond the hundreds of thousands of dollars those condos cost, to living so high in the sky.

I need to, as always, make sure I credit radio station WDCB for their assistance with this list.  I couldn’t do this site without them.  They also just posted a new festival which I will talk about later, cuz I always need something to write about down the road.
