[Rhodes22-list] Slim's Chicago trip

Ron,

I stayed with a friend who lives approximately 2400 north and 5700 west in a
very Polish neighborhood.  We went knocking around the bars in that area and
along Diversey.  We saw Melvin Taylor at Rosa's on Armitage--he was awesome!
Then we went to B.L.U.E.S. Chicago on Halsted and saw Les Getrex--also
great.  Last, we went to (something) Mines also on Halsted and saw the
phenomenal Joanna Connor.  Melvin Taylor was my favorite of the three.  It's
been a long time since I've heard/seen a guitarist of his caliber.

We also took in the Museum of Science and Industry and poked around a little
in the Loop.  We ate great Mexican and Hungarian.  I gotta get to Chicago
more often!

Slim
