As mentioned in the article, I found out he used to live there too and thats why the area park in westmont was named after him . I would never have known where he spent his last years in the Chicago area if I did not happen to live near that park.
Its not big, but what a great neighborhood tribute and for future generations in the area to know his name and that he lived where they do now .

Kobra, the muralist is spectacular.

WXRT fm is another station

Yeah plenty of clubs south and north side as you probably know for live blues music but no decent full time blues radio station that I know of but maybe someone else can enlighten us both
Buddy Guy always does a lot of live shows at his central downtown club in January He comes off touring and back to Chicago to break up the cold
Here on video while on tour last year he laments that blues is not on the radio enough anymore ...

(18,640 posts)I couldn't believe how live and energetic his show still is. He barely stood still and even did a walk and play around the music hall. Hard to even call him blues at times. Buddy Guy still rocks the dots off his guitar.
