Whistle

I will be in the general Chicago / Northwest Indiana area next week. Anyone know of any stores in the area worth a moderate drive while I’m there?

on the SW side of Chicago (driving distance from NW Indiana):

World Folk Music Company
1808 West 103rd Street
Chicago, IL 60643
(773) 779-7059

They had a full line of Water Weasels, some Thin Weasels, Susatos, a couple of timber flutes, etc, last time i was there.

on the North Side, a longer drive:

Old Town School of Folk Music
4544 N. Lincoln Avenue
Chicago, IL 60625
773.728.6000 fax 773.728.6999

lotsa stuff crammed into one room… i don’t get there much these days though.

Thanks - I will be real close to the one on 103rd and am familiar how to get there. I am staying east off Hwy 30 in Indiana - so a quick jaunt up to I-57 will do it. Just not during Rush hour - one thing I DO NOT miss in Kansas (we have a rush minute - but only if I miss the light).

I may try to go the one on North Lincoln on Monday. I hear there is an Irish session on Mondays at Martyrs on the north side.
