who has performed on the streets as well as in nightclubs.   He sings
with real punch and casts an authentic downhome Blues feeling.  He
cares for the public and fights for the disadvantaged in this city.  I
hope people will come to support him in his efforts to honor, promote,
and memorialize Chicago’s Blues and R and B scene."
