Following is the latest Chicago Shows List.  I post it to the newsgroups
with irregularity, but you can also sign up for the weekly mailing list by
mailing to shows@farpost.chi.il.us.  Please mention what group you saw this
in.

                           The Chicago Shows List
                It's all right now / I learned my lesson well
     Y'see, you can't please everyone / So you've got to please yourself
                        Shows of note as of 01/19/95
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES
    To those of you who are seeing the List for the first time, and
    subscribed long ago, we're sorry for the delay.  We're just going
    through a backlog of requests.

    My thanks to those of you who pointed out that Ted Hawkins died.  I
    called Fitzgerald's and they said the Joe Ely show will still be on,
    although "there will be some changes."

    Please note that I've listed a Spin Doctors show.  Anyone who thinks
    that I don't list bands that I don't like is now proven wrong beyond
    any shadow of a doubt.
