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.
@whatjd - "hard to believe"? The "government" is mostly a bunch of second-stringers who are doing jobs that smart people don't want.
