Yesterday

Check out this cool link for the This Day in Music website. What was #1 on the U.S. charts the day I was born??







==================================================================

Katie and I spent a couple of days in Chicago. Highlights: toasted ravioli at Harry Caray's, views from the Hancock Observatory, our room at the Drake, dinner at Riccardo's Trattoria, Henri Matisse and Wm. Eggelston exhibits at the Institute of Art. Eggleston's picture 'the red ceiling' adorns Big Star's lp cover for Radio City. Eggleston and Chilton were friends in Memphis. Eggleston was also commissioned to photograph Graceland sometime after Elvis died. The photo's were never widely published. The ones shown at this exhibit were very strange.
