Well, folks, I've only been acquainted with this list for a couple of days, and I'm going out on a limb here. Call it SPAM. For those of you in the Chicago area, there are some Home Cookin' House Concerts coming up. Sat. July 17, Vince Bell will be appearing. "Magic unrealism. Poetry of rank strangers - savaged into a state of grace" - T Bone Burnett

I know Vince and his wife Sarah, wonderful people, I think most people on a list like this would enjoy hearing/meeting them.

Saturday, Aug 14, Scotty Melton. "Scotty Melton is a modern day singer/songwriter with a very old soul". Saturday, Aug 28, Steven Fromholz Friday, Sept 10, David Olney. "he has written some of the most powerful songs i have ever heard" - Townes Van Zandt. These concerts will be held at: Lutheran Church of The Holy Spirit. 30 Riverwoods Road, Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069. INFO 847-506-9093 HTTP://www.dcmorris.com/concert.html

If a post like this is inappropriate, please ignore and forgive me. My thinking is that anyone who would take the time to be a part of a list like this one would appreciate knowing of such concerts, esp. if within travel distance. If you would like directions, I can provide them. OK, if you feel it necessary, flame me now. Res
