Chicago Blues Fest 2016

Friday June 9th is the first day of Chicago Blues Fest. We go to this great event and is the largest

Buddy Guy at the fest a few years ago

free Blues Festival in the world. Located in Grant Park there are multiple stages to give some lesser known artists a chance to be heard by the people. We have fun attending this great event. I always meet friends and talk to people and find others who are visiting Chicago from all around the world. The city of Chicago says:
"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."
After the Chicago Blues fest ends for the evening the music continues at all the clubs and bars in Chicago. There are jams and surprise guests. This is the Summer kick off for Chicago. I saw BB King play one year and they said there were over 100,000 people in attendance, it took us awhile to get home that night. Another highlight was the night Chuck Berry was playing during the time Keith Richards was making the documentary on Chuck. We did not know this was going to happen but Keith Richards came out and played with Chuck during his set. They played Johnnie B. Goode.

The picture above I took of Buddy Guy in the mid 90's

DNA info says:

"This year's Chicago Blues Festival kicks off Friday with a special salute to Alligator Records and its 45th anniversary.

The Chicago-based label began in the early 1970s by then-23-year-old blues fan Bruce Iglauer who worked as a shipping clerk at Dellmark Records. He made his first record for the label, Hound Dog Taylor and the House Rockers, pressing 1,000 copies.

"Alligator was a leap of faith, an under financed one-man operation run out of an efficiency apartment," Iglauer says in the liner notes to the "Alligator Records 45th Anniversary Collection."

Today, Alligator says it is the largest independent blues label in the world.

The free, three-day festival will be played across four stages in the park."

Eastlake Terrace Rogers Park Chicago IL

There is a very special street in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. This street is East

Eastlake Terrace Rogers Park

lake Terrace. A one block street running North and South and right at the edge of Lake Michigan. This is a treasured location and has mostly 1920's vintage condos. The property that is located on the East side of the street back up to the Lake Michigan Beaches. Many of the buildings have their own private beaches and boat launches. If you talk to people in the know they will tell you that this is one of, if not the best street on the North Side of Chicago and defiantly in Rogers Park.

Click Eastlake Terrace Rogers Park Chicago IL to see the up to date property listings.

About 15 or 20 years ago these properties were all bought up and turned into condominiums. Since that time the values have gone up and some people insist on an address on Rogers Parks East Lake Terrace. Today I went for a walk through this neighborhood because it was a perfect day. At 70 degrees and with a slight breeze on this Sunday many people were walking around, boating, jogging and enjoying the day. We ran into a man strumming a guitar and really enjoying himself. He was not playing for bucks as one might think, he was enjoying the day. At the moment we sat on the next park bench to the south of this man a woman walked by and started singing with this musician. He did not know her because we walked up and talked to him afterward. They sung and played Van Morrison "Into The Mystic" This was a surreal moment that I really enjoyed. You had to be there but this is really a pleasant situation.

Along the building of East Lake Terrace is tennis courts, Parks, kids playing and crisp Lake Michigan air. If you want to hear more contact us at Coldwell Banker Rogers Park.
