Chicago Blues Festival...

No white man ever had the blues...
The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning...


Tomorrow begins our three day weekend for it's the start of The Chicago Blues Festival.  The Chicago Blues Festival is the largest free blues festival in the world and remains the largest of Chicago's Music Festivals. During three days on five stages, more than 500,000 blues fans prove that Chicago is the "Blues Capital of the World." Past performers include Bonnie Raitt, Ray Charles, B.B. King, the late Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy and the late Koko Taylor.

The agenda is as follows.
Chicago Blues Schedule

We have been looking forward to this for quite sometime now.  Arvid more than I has been gearing up for weeks.  The celebration started yesterday and will continue for the rest of the weekend from the mid morning until late in the evening.

In preparation for the Blues festival, Arvid said "we have to tell everyone NOT to call us on these days."  I just nod and pretend to agree with him.  He's happy and so am I.


As the Blues Brothers said, "it's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

Have a great day everyone!


Simple music is the hardest music to play and blues is simple music...
