Nostalgia.

Has anyone mentioned the Siegal/Schweall Blues Band? Corky Siegel is still around soemwhere, I hope. Harmonica on "Raising the Flag."

Hot dances at the then-Wobbly Hall on Lincoln Ave. I think it's a Jay's Gym or something now. Layers underneath; Haymarket Martyrs posters; Lucy Parsons and Joe Hill.

the horsehoes are still printed in the sidewalk down in Old Town, even if the OTSFM is in spiffy new digs north on Lincoln.
