Does anyone remember the lyrics that Win Stracke, Chicago balladeer sang about
Paddy Bauler and the Forty-Third Ward?

Art, do you remember the lyrics to it?

Anyone from around Chicago heard Win sing it?

Thanks,

Frank Hamilton

It used to be played on the Midnight Special. Rich Warren may be able to tell you where to find the recording. The OTS is doing a tribute to Win sometime soon.

Frank - I'm sure Mark D could track it down too.

Win Stracke - the voice that was once all over Chicago radio, but mainly with commercials! Then came Stud's show and then the Old Town School - a great fellow who knew where to take his passion for folk music.

ps Chicago still ain't ready for reform!
