Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Gary Zidek

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! We’re going to have some fun this cold Christmas morning revisiting a few of my favorite pieces and listening to some holiday tunes. I’m going to bring back a feature I did on local music photographer Paul Natkin. He’s taken pictures of virtually every touring musician who has came through Chicago between the early 80s and mid-2000s. We’ll hear all about Chicago-based artist Sentrock, who’s first solo exhibition show is still available to see. I’ll revisit a piece I did on a holiday cocktail that’s become a tradition for many Midwesterners. Plus some other fun things along the way.
