Issue 47 - October 1, 2023
Hey Folks,
From out of
the deepening shadows of the twilight hours comes a man with a
guitar case and a small satchel. From out of the satchel he
takes a microphone and a cable. He plugs it in and begins to
adjust it just so. His guitar is tuned to Greenwich Mean Time.
Several of his songs are considered classified by the State
Department. He coined the term, It's a vibe! He speaks
languages that have yet to be discovered. His Lakota name is
Mark Zeus, and he is coming to a joint near you.

The Four Treys
3333 N. Damen Ave., Chicago, IL
60618
We liked this gig
so much the last time we decided to do it all over again. This
place is so dog friendly that your dog probably already has heard
of it, so let your pooch bring you and they˜ll introduce you
around. As Albert Einstein once observed, a bartender is just a
pharmacist with a limited inventory. Well, Mark at the bar can
cure what ails ya, or at least keep you maintaining an even strain
until a cure can be found. Come on out and see why we have been
voted the most likely act to play the Four Treys on Friday,
October 6th at 9:00PM. Next to none can make the same claim.

The Sportz Nook
2020 N. Oakley,
Chicago IL 60647
This will be our second time
visiting this fun Elmwood Park nightspot, which means we either
left our capo behind and need to retrieve it, or our agent,
Murray, was able to convince them to have us back. It's a great
room right there on Grand Ave. You can't miss it; it's right
there between the tire shop and the vacant lot. Get your slow
leak fixed or some new steel belted radials while we play some
of your favorites at this afternoon gig.

Gallery Cabaret
2020 N. Oakley, Chicago IL 60647
Garrett Lane has been Master of
Ceremonies at Gallery Cabaret since about the time the federal
government last had a budget surplus. He regularly hosts
songwriter nights because he truly enjoys songwriters doing
their thang. This Wednesday night will certainly be no exception
as it will once again be Songwriter Night at Gallery Cabaret
featuring yours truly along with Mark Zeus as we set out to
prove once again why independent music is cool and so much of
the corporate rock that Sony, UMG, and WMG want you to listen to
is not allowed behind the doors of the Gallery because Garrett
Lane does not permit it. We'll play the stuff the suits don't
want you to hear because they're too afrain you'll like it.
This place is a classic Chicago hang, and if you've never been,
its never too late.

Woodfire Tavern
4868 Illinois 83,Long Grove, IL, 60047
If
you go down to the crossroads and try to flag a ride and that
crossroads is at Rt. 83 and Gilmer in Long Grove, you'll notice
a big ol' barn of place up atop the hill. That's a swingin'
joint with smokin' hot BBQ, a full bar, and live music”and on
this particular night that live music is us. The waitstaff will
treat you like you're their long lost cousin and food comes out
of the kitchen like mom's been cooking all day. Pick out a
pumpkin nearby while you're at it and carve a big wide grin in
it and call him Jack. Then you'll be all set for Halloween.
Once again, this is the kind of entertainment the
mainstream media thinks you are not ready to handle, but since
you are a valued member of an elite club of music aficionados,
you get to know where the cool gigs are happening. So if you
know some other cool people (and why wouldn't you?), like and
describe them to us, and we will see you Where and When we
can.
With warmest
regards,

Two musicians are walking down the street, and one
says to the other, "Who was that piccolo I saw you with last
night?"
The other replies, "That was no piccolo, that was my fife."
