                            The Chicago Shows List
                 It's all right now / I learned my lesson well
      Y'see, you can't please everyone / So you've got to please yourself
                         Shows of note as of 01/19/95
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 NOTES
     To those of you who are seeing the List for the first time, and
     subscribed long ago, we're sorry for the delay.  We're just going
     through a backlog of requests.
 
     My thanks to those of you who pointed out that Ted Hawkins died.  I
     called Fitzgerald's and they said the Joe Ely show will still be on,
     although "there will be some changes."
 
     Please note that I've listed a Spin Doctors show.  Anyone who thinks
     that I don't list bands that I don't like is now proven wrong beyond
     any shadow of a doubt.
