Larry Jakus
Larry Jakus believes that understanding Chicago history is important. However, with numerous ways to spend time students hardly have time to wade through a thick tomb of Chicago history. To remedy this, Mr. Jakus has produced a collection of twelve songs, The History of Chicago, Volume One. The author hopes the tunes can provide the learner an understanding of Chicago history without the usual burdens that come with study.
Assisting are outstanding Chicago area musicians, Lindsay Weinberg (main vocals), Andrea Bunch (guitar and vocals), Jeff Guttadauro (bass) and Scott Carson (drums). Steve Dawson (blues guitar) and Wally Rozak (singer), make guest appearances, while Dave Budrys, sound engineer for the production, fills in the gaps with an electric banjo solo and percussion.
