<p>the back story</p>
<p>In an earlier life (before becoming a criminal-defense lawyer, that is), I worked for a Chicago-based blues record company (Alligator Records), co-producing blues albums and doing a little of everything else. Later, after becoming a lawyer, I kept my hand in music by reviewing live jazz for an “alternative” Chicago newspaper (Chicago Reader). More recently still, I got into the habit of sending links to music clips to a small handful of folks (family and friends) and, over time, the list of recipients grew, then grew some more. Some folks suggested that I start a blog for this stuff – so, recently, I did. Each day the blog features a new music clip. The range of music is wide: jazz, blues, rock, classical, gospel, you name it.</p>

<p>Y’all are invited, if you’d like to see what I’m up to with this. Per CC’s rules, I’m not going to post the web address here, but if you’ll pm me, I’ll send it to you. (If after checking it out you decide you like it, there will be instructions, in tomorrow’s blog post, on how you can “subscribe.”)</p>
<p>(P.S. At the risk of stating the obvious: everything about this endeavor is free.)</p>
