EARS meets a week early this month, on Wednesday January 24 at 7:30pm at Symphony Center. Enter at 67 E. Adams adjacent to Rhapsody Restaurant and sign in at the guard station. We return to check out Chris Willis' new Record Booth and celebrate double double Grammy® nominations for Hudson Fair in the categories of Best Classical Album and Best Classical Vocal Performance and our new V.P., Michael Kolar in the categories of Best Duet, Non-Classical and Hip Hop Album of the Year. How's that for diversity? Parking is available at the Grant Park Garage on Michigan Avenue. (Not too expensive at night). If you're taking the el, exit at Monroe/Adams. Pizza and beverages will be provided.

Welcome!

Let's welcome back Timothy Powell and Mike Konopka, our original editors, who will be taking over and getting the EARdrum going again soon. Also welcome Eric Roth as our new Treasurer.

Recap:

Last month's meeting was our annual Jeff Hamilton Memorial Holiday Party. Those in attendance had a great time and those missing were, well, missed.

If you have any ideas for the EARdrum, our website, or future meetings, please contact Kerry at archmart@comcast.net.
