Two weekends ago, Liz and I went out to Captain's Quarters off Grasslake Road in Antioch, for our first Chain of Lakes band of the summer. We'd been there in June for a favorite 50s-60s band, Rockin' Fenderskirts, but they had cancelled because of the rain and storms passing through the area. This was right before the flooding that closed the Chain down.
Every summer, Captain's has bands outside on Sunday afternoons and this is always a treat. We consider that the summer officially starts when we see a band there. A new one, the Gypsy Winds, was playing and put on a good show with lots of favorites. Unfortunately, a bottle of beer is now $3.25 during the show.
This Sunday, Howard Livingston and Mile Marker 24 will be playing; another favorite. We've seen them at Blarney Island and almost saw them this past winter at Flor-abama, right on the Florida-Alabama line along the Gulf of Mexico. They are an actual Florida Keys band and mostly play their own music, ala Jimmy Buffett.
