Summerfest 2018 - if you missed it, "Can't You See Me Cry"?!

At the risk of being totally self-congratulatory, because I didn't see many of you at the show and since I've already bored you for years with news from my notorious past in rock & roll, here is a link to a YouTube posting from the "Cornerstones of Rock" concert we did last Thursday at Milwaukee's Summerfest 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyftlbeEPhY. We drew (I was told...) more than any other act in that time slot in the history of the event - which dates back to 1968, when, coincidentally, guess who headlined --- yep, New Colony Six, along with Milwaukee's own, The Robbs! (See this link as there was a mini disaster just as we were about to take the stage and came back the next day to share our show = https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/columnists/jim-stingl/2017/06/28/stingl-they-survived-tent-collapse-milwaukees-first-summerfest/432009001/). As I presume you already know, I was blessed with an invitation to be recognized as one of the Cornerstones of Chicago rock from the 1960s when the PBS TV Special, "Cornerstones of Rock - American Garage", was filmed and subsequently broadcast several times. As a result, we took the concert live in a series of performances, the last of which was Summerfest 2018, so just look for the dude in the White Sox jersey, which will make sense when you see the name and number on the back, and wearing sunglasses. Hope to hear back from one or six of you with thoughts/comments, so please drop a line here or send an email to [email protected], okay? More NC6 concerts this summer so let me know off LinkedIn if you want some details... I may or may not remember to share them here!!!!!!
