About Last Weekend-- Part 2: Record Store Day, Tommy's Hot Dogs, Stucky's, Uncle Will and "The Legend of the USS Titanic

SATURDAY, APRIL 13

After the Easter Egg hunt, I drove over to the Vinyl Frontier Records store in McHenry, Illinois, and did my Record Store throwback thing, see the recent Record Store Day posts.

Then, after my vinyl attack, I had a hot dog attack, a good old Chicago Dog attack.  And, there is a Tommy's store in McHenry, so drove over to that.  They gave a great hot dog special:  two dogs, fries and drink for $7, including tax.  And those are Chicago Dogs.  The best.

Later, Liz and I went over to Stucky's in Johnsburg and had a good time with Uncle Will who has become one of our favorite performers.  He has a great knowledge of music and I try to stump him on requests.  He even knows "Two Hangmen" by Mason Proffitt and he learned how to play "The Legend of the USS Titanic" by Jaime Brockett, a thirteen minute long song about the real reason the Titanic sank, involving 297 and a half feet of rope and the first mate.

If you have never heard the song before, you owe it to yourself to check it out on You Tube.  Check out the video by Eggs Zachtly.  In honor of 4/20.
