Comment:

Today I'm giving thanks for living in (or actually just near) a city with a diverse musical heritage that includes one of the oldest Delta blues proponents, the psychedelic secret life of an Elvis impersonator, freaky session musicians, a mind-blowing street musician, laughable but heartfelt proto-prog and simply laughable satanic ritual music.
Based on (but not affiliated with) the semi-regular series by Plastic Crimewave. I've uploaded the first as well as the latest edition here -
volume 1
volume 2

Wonderful. Are you close enough to get a copy of the Chicago Reader? They have a feature cartoon that looks at one person/band from early 60's Chicago rock also called A Secret History of Chicago Music. Also a lot of fun.
