Yesterday afternoon, a gorgeous, late summer day in Chicago, everything clicked. You can’t expect it, or plan for it, or want it too much; best to just meet the day with eyes, heart & head wide open. We were lucky to be on the main stage at the corner of Belden & Oakley, playing a set at The 38th annual Bucktwon Arts Fest. It was the perfect place to be, at just the perfect time. Blue sky, blazing sun, puffy white clouds, enormous, leafy-green, sweetly-looming trees providing a bit of shade. A professional stage setup, a bold, enveloping sound coming from a massive array of old-school speakers. The sound-tech, a no nonsense, total pro, expertly dialed us in. There was a rollicking, happy, partying crowd, a gathering of the beautiful people. An amazing cross-section of humanity. The six of us played our set with conviction & fire. It was all very satisfying & gratifying. What to say? The best feeling in world. – Jammer
