I had stayed at a friends condo at Lake Point Tower many times after he moved to "the burbs". Many, many great memories of my time in Chicago, including wine tastings put on by some of the wine merchants. I am always up for a meal at a Greek restaurant on Halsted.
Just an old fans memory lane. Chicago bands from the sixties...
We had a couple of places in Eastern Iowa that often had bands from Chicago. If any remember, The New Colony Six, Buckinghams, Cryin Shames, American Breed...and there were others I am likely forgetting. Even though I was from Iowa City, Chicago had very big influence on my early music history....including and especially WLS......."the big 89".

Were the Turtles a Chicago band? @whatjd - Used to eat at Greektown while attending U of I. Would go late (close to closing) and they would put extra on your plate instead of throwing it away. I hear Greektown has pretty much disappeared these days. Worked with a fellow who claimed he was the first bass player with the Cryan Shames before they made it big. I believe his first name was Mike. Worked with him in 'Vegas -TSA at the airport. |
dweller I don’t know if Flo & Eddie (the Turtles) had a Chicago connection or not. I did see them live twice and both times were good music but also fun....they had a good sense of humor. Flo & Eddie - Wikipedia |
