Whew! What a lot to catch up on. Just got back from SXSW and then took a ten day vacation. Haven't done that in ten years; now I remember why! Okay, just cuz it's SPRING and I felt like it, I've included some shows that looked interesting in a couple other cities. Can't say I can keep it up, but will try from time to time to post some shows you might not otherwise hear much about but might want to try to get to if you're not too far to drive.

Sam Bush's birthday is the 13th, Loretta Lynn's is the 14th, Bob Luman's and Roy Clark's are on the 15th, and the 17th marks the anniversary of the passing of both Eddie Cochran and Hank Penny.

Re: Chicago Calendar
I dunno if these count as additions or changes or both, but this week's House of Blues ad says that Dick Dale is the 11th, not the 4th, which means I may be able to go out on my birthday after all. And the Metro's got some benefit going, including folks such as Langford, Escovedo, Fulks, Mavis Staples, and some less roots-oriented stuff. I think it's the same night that Devil in a Woodpile are headlining, but don't remember for sure. (The DiaW show starts late, while this benefit's early.) And that Wilco instore is also going to be broadcast on 'XRT, for those who'd rather have trading fodder. Bob

RIP Andy's Chicago Shows list. It was, in a word, comprehensive. I always was able to pick up a show or two from it, and it was my most reliable source for amazing band names. Andy was faithful to his labor of love for three years, and when he lost the passion for it, he was smart enough to quit. So. . .I'll just salute the happy marriage in which he just seems to have found better things to do with his time, and soldier on huddled against the wind in the rockin' business of our beloved metropolis' nightlife diary-keepin' business.
