NEWS:
Tune in this Friday around 11:30am CST for Eric's show because we'll be
featuring a live performance from members of the Macrocosmic Sound
Orchestra who will lead this year's Hereafter Fest. The fest will
take place on September 3 & 4 at the Spareroom (2416 W North Ave,
Chicago). The fest is all ages with no cover charge and is
described as a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multi-media
event. Check out this Friday's teaser performance for more
details.
Also, because of some requests, I'm going to start keeping office
hours. They'll be Thursdays from 2:30-4pm and I'll try to stick
to them. That means I can be reached by telephone at (847)
491-7102 during this time. Of course, I can always be reached via
email at jazz-md@wnur.org and this is the recommended method of
communication.
