Jazz and Blues Lounge

The Chicago Jazz and Blues Weekend

by balaspa on February 29th, 2008

Well, folks and fellow Chicagoans, we have made it to yet another weekend.  I am planning on continuing to enjoy my Sad Salamanders CD and relaxing as much as possible.  I am also somewhat looking forward to the warmer weather that is predicted for this weekend.  I may actually be looking forward to the thunderstorms predicted for Sunday.  This is utterly unprecedented as I am terrified of thunderstorms.

So, thanks again, as always to WDCB radio for the information about jazz and blues music in and around Chicago for the weekend.   They are a public radio station, so I also encourage you to listen to the station and to donate money and become a member.
