More for the End of May and another Festival
Thanks to WDCB, thanks to WDCB, thanks to WDCB. I felt so bad for yesterday’s post when I almost forgot to credit the greatest radio station in the world, I have been writing that last sentence over and over again on a chalkboard I found. OK, that may be a slight exaggeration, but I would hate to tick off the station I rely on so heavily to keep everyone, including myself, informed about jazz and blues shows every weekend.
There is also another jazz festival that is sponsored by the station and I have mentioned it before. However, I have to keep mentioning it as the summer moves on just so you can keep up on things and not forget about it. It is the Jazz Fest of Glen Ellyn and it is a suburban jazz festival that is pretty darn cool. The date is July 12, and you should mark down the date. If you plan on being in the Chicago area at that time, you will want to make the trek out from downtown to Glen Ellyn and check it out.
