Great Moments in Local Rock (Vol. 2)

The Magnificent Ambersons once played in a bar that was essentially the back room of a liquor store/bar combo in Waukegan. There were some shenanigans on the liquor store/bar side which I was not privy to (the combatants can chime in if they want), but the real story to me was the fact that they used candles to light the bathrooms. Not for ambiance, mind you, because it cost too much to use electric lights.

Can you guess how much we got paid that night?

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
