Every now and again, Chicago hits me in the face with true authenticity. One moment I feel like city living can be rat-raceful and then a delectable emerges and the city proves its value. You can’t see the extraordinary with ordinary eyes and dependable sunglasses.
There are many recipes for extraordinary. Particular aspects of it’s key ingredients can be discovered at Rosa’s Lounge. I had the pleasure of listening to Carlos Johnson at Rosa’s. With all this talk about extraordinary, I guess that I have to say that the small concert left a good impression with me. Maybe this is because it was one of my first blues bar experiences, but I like to think that its just because it was an ingredient for one of those special recipes.
