It's February, Chicago, 1916, second-string kids from New Orleans, like The Stones at the Marquee, get there to fill a spot, it's fricken freezing, promoter gets overcoats from Sally Ann, all oversized. March lands a gig at Schiller's Cafe. Nick says to ramp it up, invents a new dance fitting the bustle. Gig is white band, lower East Side, what's chances that drunk in the back is Irish? Jazz it up boys, he shouts! Wtf? sez Nick, but he liked the sound of it…
By spring, every teen in Chicago was wearing an oversized overcoat. Louis told Papa Joe in '22 he couldn't play that stuff. Papa Joe said get your ass on that stage and blow.
#GodspeedBrewery may have a Schiller's Moment Wed Jan 28th 6-9 😊
