General Music Chat

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place to post this but I figured I'd try.

I know there's a ton of musicians in the Chicago area, and perhaps this has been posted before, but I thought this would be a good way to get to know each other. I used to live in New Jersey and Florida (Orlando) and in both places there was an incredible network of musicians supporting each other, regardless of genre and style of music. I imagine Chi-town should be the same way (I hope).

So I just wanted to see how many musicians are out there from Chicago!

Hey Shiraz,

I had a blast playin the Chicagoland area 88-94...Played the burbs mostly but all the area music stores were VERY supportive back then...If you were outta work,it was because you wanted to be...Ive seen a few on here from "Sweet Home ORD"...I miss the area..Kinda sorry I left...I hope it hasnt changed much...Look up a Cat named Scott Hendricks (Keyboards)...He was networked well around the city...Geez, Im talkin about this like it was 3-4 yrs ago ...He'd be around 57-58...Maybe he's still rockin...I listened to all your tunes...Good stuff...Different...Good luck.
