Summary

In this next few episodes I interview Chicago Mexican Poet Gregorio Gomez, who was in charge of the Poetry Night readings at the landmark bar in Chicago, "Weeds".  This interview was based on a spoken word recording that Gregory recorded with a band named Jack Salamander, who was also a featured band at Weeds in the early 90s. This was a band that I had formed with my college buddy, Lem Roby, back when I first moved back to Chicago. This band originally started out playing what was considered "Acid Jazz" back then.  Gregorio used to read some of his poetry with Jack Salamander back in the day, so this was a natural fit.  The band also joins the conversation,  Mind you, these are good friends who have known each other for years, so there is a lot of inside jokes, and "F" bombs included in the interview only for the sake of preservation.
