Have you ever seen someplace where you literally couldn’t make sense of everything that was going on around you? Chicago has some spots like this.
In this special two-part Travelogue, I take you to some of Chicago’s most cutting edge, interesting places that have to do with music.
See Andy’s Music Shop, in all its wonder and splendor. Tour Specimen Studios, where creative anomalies are born every minute..
Hope you have fun!

Back to the Land of Lincoln where I was born, Chicago has always been a great city for me to “stop in on” about once a year or so. There is always something new to discover; whether it’s CTA stories of rude passengers, a leaning water tower, or just lots and lots of music.
I shot some of this directly after taking a Red-Eye flight from Anchorage on which I didn’t get any sleep at all (just check out the poofy red eyes in front of the Leaning Tower). A great time is always to be had in Chicago, especially with great friends like the Greeners as my guides.

Well, we are back for the second half of “Season 1,” beginning with my homeland, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Ever been to the Mars Cheese Castle? Well you should! They know more about cheese there than Chuckie. How about going for a swim in Lake Michigan before the water is done thawing? I did it! Wanna know what fried Snapping Turtle tastes like? I’ll tell you!

Not much for gambling, this time around I travel to some places “off” the famed Las Vegas Strip. I find that there are just as many interesting people in between the cracks as there are in the spotlight.
Join me as I get a mini tour of the Toy Shack, a shop frequently mentioned on History Channel’s “Pawn Stars,” and a very bizarre, yet informative tour of the one-and-only Pinball Hall of Fame.

Watch as the wackiness continues… Follow me as I travel to the Desert, eat Whataburger, almost get put in jail, find a rare, out-of-print 90 Pound Wuss record, learn all about “Mexican Moonshine” Tequila and more!

This time, I wind up discovering a Museum dedicated entirely to PEZ. Also, I have a fun dinner with old friends at the TOP OF THE WORLD Restaurant on Nob Hill in downtown San Francisco..

I go scouting the wreckage from Buster Keaton’s “The General” and the Rob Reiner classic “Stand by Me”… Fun!

This is the first short Travelogue I have ever done… So excuse the roughness, as I am still working on the format of this whole thing.
I figured after all of the stories I had from each trip I’ve taken as a result of my profession, if I didn’t start recording or doing something to permanently keep the memories, most of them would either fade away or begin to greatly exaggerate over time.
So, though it’s rough around the edges, bear with me.. They should get better and more interesting as I find out exactly what I’m trying to communicate here.
