Tom Holland was so much fun to play with that we went immediately into the studio and recorded 3 songs together! Another highlight was Demsher sitting in on sax. Looking forward to Septembers Chicago Women in the Blues series…

This Wed, joining me at Le Piano, is guitarist Tom Holland. Tom got his spurs playing with John Primer, Eddy Clearwater and then as Jame's Cotton's bandleader. Guitar players take note, this guy has more ideas per measure than some guys have in their whole set! Join us, 7-10 PM at 6970 N Glenwood, Chicago. Tom Holland, Susan Williams

Wow! Each week is better and better! Thanks to Dark Fiction writer, Bonansinga and his talented photographer wife Jill (and her parents) for joining us, along with Blues influencer Jennifer Noble and bassist husband Noble for their great energy. The biggest surprise was the appearance of long ago bandmate, bassist/actor Fran Kondorf, who bears a striking resemblance to Henry Rollins, but Henry can’t hold a candle to Fran’s incredible bass playing! The audience was fun, enthusiastic and good looking! The champagne was flowing and a good time was had by all!
