Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois
• YouTube

* It’s Friday, so how about we loosen things up a bit…

Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon is bringing her love of banjo to a Chicago audience.

Simon will play Saturday evening for a grand-opening preview of a $16.5 million education and performance venue at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood. […]

Simon has played the banjo for more than a decade with her Carbondale band, Loose Gravel.

She’ll join the Hoyle Brothers on stage Saturday. Simon says there’s a joy in live music and the Old Town School will help share that joy.

* In case you’ve never had the pleasure, here’s our lt. governor with her band…

* The Question: What’s your one word reaction to this news?

Please do you utmost to keep your response to just one word. And let’s not be excessively mean-spirited. Thanks.

…Adding… In case you’re interested, LG Simon and Bau Graves from the Old Town School of Folk Music (one of my favorite venues in the world) were on Jonathon Brandmeier’s show this morning. They start a few minutes into the online podcast…
