Years ago, I think it was 1971, I was in Chicago and stayed down town. I think it was the Palmer House, but not certain.
I was walking through the lobby and saw Johnny Rivers. I said hi and he said hi, and I asked what he was doing there. He told me he was playing in the lounge!
I cancelled whatever plans I had that evening and spent it listening to one of my all-time musical heroes instead!
