CHICAGO BLUES ALL-STARS® LIVE: Thank You, Daytime Chicago (Careful What You Ask For) . . Producers told me not to wear black, so today’s fashion statement was the by-product of being left to my own devices and getting dressed in the dark prior to the show. Regardless, an amazing time was truly had by all of us as guests on Daytime Chicago (https://tinyurl.com/yh9r4uf2). Always appreciate the support that WGN -TV has given us through the years. Ms. Amy Rutledge and Ms. Tonya Francisco were an absolute blast to hang out with . . And Mr. Bob Voorwald (Production Manager) and his team made the final product look and sound fantastic! Things went so smoothly and the groove was so down & dirty that we even had the honor of being paid a visit by Mr. Ric Harris (VP/General Manager of WGN-TV). Can't forget to send out a lotta' love to Ms. Samantha Frontera for bringing all the pieces together. Couldn't have been a more perfect way to spend a Friday morning . . Thanks again, Daytime Chicago & WGN-TV (Chicago's Own) ! ! !

CHICAGO SLIM® SPEAKS: LiveNation & Ticketmaster Found Guilty Of Monopolistic Practices . . Jury confirms what music lovers and concert goers have known all along (https://tinyurl.com/2mudy44r). Ticketmaster has been ripping consumers off for decades through unscrupulous practices aimed at gouging ticket buyers. This has lead to ticket prices being inflated to multiple times their face value (for no apparent reason). I hope that this reckoning will bring significant penalties to two of the most hated companies in the music industry. I never thought that I would say this . . But THANK YOU Taylor Swift!

Wolf's "Rocking Chair" album stands the test of time as a top-10 release in the annals of Chicago Blues.

CHICAGO SLIM® SPEAKS: Renowned Chicago Blues Musicians Appreciate New Audiences and New Art Forms . . Thank You, Ms. Sandra Guy and Chicago Sun-Times for taking the time to connect with me & Diva Lynne Jordan (https://pressreader.com/article/281535117510692). Lynne and I are ever so fortunate to have founded and remain the focal point of two very cool and successful bands on the Chicago scene (Chicago Blues All-Stars, Lynne Jordan & the Shivers). Our current collaboration (Maxwell Street Blues Revival) remains a labor of love and gift back to the Chicago Blues community. Watching Buddy Guy continue to get bigger & better as he's pushing 90-years young only serves to inspire us to greater heights . . Hope that you enjoy the read and may the Blues spirit remain strong with all of you!
