Each Monday nioght, harmonica master Joe Filisko (of Filisko & Noden fame) teaches a class for some of the most dedicated blues harmonica students in Chicago. His classes have become a Chicago subculture, and his students are well known for their knowledge and proficiency. Bob Corritore will be a guest of this wonderful gathering on Monday, June 14th. The event takes place at the Old Town School Of Folk Music at 4544 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625-2103, (773) 728-6000. Joe will kick off the class at 6:30 with Bob appearing around 8pm. There is no cover charge, and visitors are welcome, but non-class members are asked to make reservations by emailing michelle@filisko.com. Please note that the legendary Jerry Portnoy will also be a guest speaker in this class on September 13, 2010.

I'll be in Chicago that evening and may just drive up to the Harp & Soul festival.
For MBH forum members who find themselves in Chicago for the festival: I'm playing Buddy Guy's Legends (the new one) from 12 noon to 1 PM on Friday, June 11th. I'm playing the Windy City Blues Society stage on the festival grounds on Saturday the 12th from 2:45 to 3:45. (I'll be in one-man-band guise in both venues.) I'm planning on driving over to Rosa's to check out Sugar Blue's show (and ask Sugar to come to Hill Country Harmonica 2011) on Friday evening.
Sugar and Billy Branch will both be playing Chi Blues Fest this year, as will my Mississippi friends Bill "Howl-N-Madd" Perry and Terry "Harmonica" Bean.
