I had replied to him reminiscing about recording 3 or 4 songs demo with Brad Wood at his Idful studio in Wicker Park back in 1991. Then my friend and I got to talking about those demos I made with the band I was in at the time and where those songs ended up. I told him about Chicago's Underground: Hits at Large and he then searched the net to find out more about it...and here we are! It was cool to see your review from that issue of the IE that you have posted here. Thanks, it brought back great memories of playing the cd release show at (then "Cabaret") Metro with the Webstirs, 92 Degrees, and all the other bands on the cd. Oh, forgot to mention, I was the drummer in Crackpot Messiah. I left the band in '93, but the other blokes keep playing out every so often, to this very day.<br />Oh...and if I may also throw in a bit of unsolicited trivia...I remember talking to the guys in Billy Pilgrim (and your review was right, theirs were best tracks on that cd), and I asked the singer about the "other" Billy Pilgrim from Atlanta (they had some commercial success and radio airplay of their single "Sweet Louisiana Sound" in the early '90s). Anyway, I think I recall the singer of the Chicago Billy Pilgrim told me that he was contacted maybe by the record company and asked about switching the name because of the Atlanta Billy Pilgrim. Oh well, I guess that was reeeeally trivial. Well, I enjoyed the post and your blog. Thanks!Rory Callaghannoreply@blogger.com
