At the Chess building at 2120 S Michigan Ave they have a photo of Willie Dixon flanked by silhouettes of Muddy Waters and Keef. It was taken by a Kodak Instamatic, I was told and it's one of the greatest photos I've ever seen. Shame I can only tell you about it. It's a work of art, though without ever thinking it could be. I think it was taken the night they went to The Quiet Knigh

The Rolling Stones never cease to amaze me. To be the first to put something out during the pandemic and to hit the nail on the head, is amazing. Truly the greatest band of all time.
