The Chicago Trip 3-21-08 Pt.1 to see CBR











Sears Tower






Well my Good Good friend Joel had arranged a trip for the both of us to Chicago to see his friends Corky Siegal and Harvey Mandel and Sam Lay of the Chicago Blues Reunion Band.Sam was not going to be at the show,Sam had another show to do and could not get out of it,after talking to the Chicago Blues Reunion. The Chicago Blues Reunion were doing a live show in a place that holds about 800 blues fans.This show is going to be recored for a CD and DVD. This time in the band are a few changes like no Tracy Nelson or Sam Lay who was sick.They have a great woman singer named Marcy Levy,she has been in Eric Claptons band and co wrote Lay Down Sally and is very nice and beautiful. So both of us got our winter clothes out again.Caps,gloves,long underware ,layers and winter jackets.It was 30 out.We had a smooth plane flight up.Joel is good friends with Corky Siegel,Joel found out that Sam Lay was in the hospital.So on Sat.we were going to see him.That is another part of the trip.When I woke up on Sat.3-22-08 it had snowed and I went out for a walk about 8am to get coffee.I was taking photos and a video which is below and on youtube I will give you the link.It is like when I see tourist taking photo and picking up sand at the beach only I was picking up snow and taking pictures of it.As you can see by noon the sky was a perfect blue sky still it was 32 out with little wind.Well Part 2 coming Seeing the Band, CBR
