Didn't see this posted, and thought it was very cool...

Imagine being at that bar and sitting through all of the wannabe American Idols and the all of the actual talent that is peppered in the mix, only to have Eddie show up and treat the patrons to a couple of songs. What a cool thing to do in a city that means so much to him.
For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

    Wow. Any time I've sat through an open mic night, it's been nothing but Celine Dion and country music covers.

    Lucky Chicago!
