This DVD is a fascinating look behind the board, inside the studio, and into the heart and soul of the music we all know and love. Again I have to say, if you’re really into collecting music, this is a historical document and a must have for any fan of classic rock, R&B and jazz. Tommy was there, in the right place, at the right time, making music magic for over fifty years.
Tom Dowd achieved many outstanding technical high points during his distinguished career in the music business as recording engineer, arranger and producer. His work with Atlantic and Stax Records is legendary, as is his pioneering work with eight-track recording.

The Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday and won the three game series by two games to one. It was another hard fought battle between the two teams as the Cubs pulled out a 3-2 victory. Big Carlos Zambrano helped out his own cause as he hit the game winning home run in the fourt inning when he took Josh Fogg deep to the right-center bleachers. Zambrano went onto win the game on the mound as well as he pitched seven innings and improved to 13-5 on the year. Big Z had to work out of
This week's edition of the Chicago Reader is running an interesting review of Frank Kusch's Battleground Chicago—an unconventional look at the 1968 'police riots' at the Democratic National Convention. The event is infamous for the brutality of the police in attempting to control the groups of anti-war protesters demonstrating at the convention. But Kusch's book goes beyond this stereotypical image using seldom heard accounts of the event from the police's point of view to arrive at a more nu
Posted in: Chicago, IL by larry paros. I'm working on a documentary film on kids from poverty backgrounds who attended an experimental school I ran in 1967-68. I'm doing a follow-up on them 40 years later. One of the students grew up in the Henry Horner Projects and I need access to photos of the projects for the film. Does anyone have access to them or to the photos on this website? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Larry Paros

Miami Ice, the third effort by Chicago-based Icy Demons (comprised of Bablicon’s Griffin Rodriguez, here known as Blue Hawaii, and Man Man’s Christopher Powell, known as Pow Pow), is so enjoyable and effortless; it’s any wonder why the group hasn’t gained greater notoriety. Although disappointingly short, the album is brimming with such gorgeous material that it’s difficult not to enjoy. Miami Ice, the stunning single for which the album was named, is a perfect blend of Rodriguez’s deep yet qui
Twelve minutes after off-duty Chicago police officer John Ardelean left a bar on Thanksgiving Day 2007, the officer broadsided a car, killing two men on Chicago's Northwest side. A judge dismissed DUI charges against Ardelean because of insufficient evidence. Prosecutors declined to bring any additional charges against the officer who is still employed by the department. The problem was that the officer would not submit to a sobriety test until 7 hours after the accident when a superior ordered
