About this book that Dean Milano has written:
"This is the story of two decades of the Chicago music scene – the 1960s and ’70s, an incredibly vibrant period in urban and suburban music scenes across the country and throughout the world. And Chicago, thanks to an abundance of highly talented musicians and bands, was a major player throughout those decades. It was a time when Jazz, Rock & Roll, Country & Western, Folk, Blues, R & B and just about every type of music imaginable flowed through the streets of Chicagoland. Much has been written about the national and international talent of that time, but not enough has been written regarding local music scenes. This story will focus on the city of Chicago (along with an approximate 30 mile radius of its suburban club scene) and the homegrown performers who made it one of the most electrifying and memorable periods in music history. Some of those players went all the way to "the big time", while others made their mark and disappeared. But they all made a difference in their own way and for those who were there, it is a time they will never forget".
