beamjockey: Drawing of Bill of the Heterodyne Boys by Phil Foglio. (Default)
Roger Ebert reminisces about hanging around Old Town in the heyday of Chicago folk music.

This was triggered by listening to the Midnight Special broadcast memorializing the late Fred Holstein.

I was a good bit younger, but I visited some of the same clubs in some of the same years. They helped give Chicago that magic aura that made me want to move here. And I heard Fred Holstein play often.

By the way, [livejournal.com profile] whl got the wireless link going the other night. So maybe I'll go listen to the broadcast myself. Good timing.
