THERE IS A LOT OF MUSICAL TALENT IN CHICAGO THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, DOES NOT GET MAJOR MEDIA RECOGNITION. THIS IS WHY A STATION LIKE WLUW IS SO IMPORTANT; IT EXPOSES THE LISTENERS TO GREAT MUSIC THAT WOULD ORDINARILY GO UNNOTICED. IT’S GREAT TO BE A PART OF AN EFFORT LIKE THAT OF WLUW.

WITH THAT IN MIND, THIS PAGE IS A PLACE TO TALK ABOUT ALL KINDS OF MUSIC. I’LL POST SOME INTERESTING MUSIC STUFF I COME ACROSS HERE. I WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK REGARDING AN ALBUM, A SHOW, OR SOMETHING I OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS SAID, SO I CAN POST IT ON THIS PAGE. HAPPY LISTENING!
