BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE FOR 10/11/26 FURNITURE MART RECORDINGS
This week on BBS we feature an encore presentation of our special theme Blues At Chicago’s Furniture Mart. If you’ll remember, the Furniture Mart was/is a Chicago landmark. It was built in the 1920s and included a recording studio and was used by at least three different Blues record labels – Brunswick, Decca, and Vocalion (or ARC – American Recording Company). One weird aspect of the building was its address, 666 North Lake Shore Drive. Jazz Record Mart’s Bob Koester would relate tales of superstitious artists, who were reluctant to record there. Eventually, (decades later) the address was officially changed to 680 N. Lake Shore Drive. Whether it was horse hockey or not, we’ll use it as an excuse to present recordings done at the address – and it all happens during hour #3. Only on BBS (every 8 or 10 years)!
