CHICAGO BLUES ENSEMBLE

On August 4, several talented former high school classmates got together to play Blues at Rosa's Blues Lounge in Chicago as part of South Shore High's reunion festival weekend.  Mark Rashkow, professional singer and guitarist now residing in Haifa, Israel, flew in to be part of the ensemble.  In the audience, were the class president, Stan West, journalist who documented the event with me and class co-valedictorian, author and former bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal in Paris, London and Hong Kong, Phil Revzin.

Here are some of the photos from the entertaining evening.
