Among the honored guest were Jim & Lori Pilster, Alan Dawson & date Linda, Sue & Bill Patterson, G.L.O.R.I.A. & Al Knuth and Marlene O'Malley.The D.J. played Sugar & Spice , and It Could Be We're in Love which added to the night's magic. Our special thanks to The Cryan' Shames for making this a special night.
JUST ANOTHER HOOK ON THE WALL
Jim Pilster's hook can now be viewed by all in it's final resting place at the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago, IL. It was inducted into their "Wall of History" on February 21st , 2002's An Evening with Chicago's Gold Isaac Guillory Benefit Concert
Jimmy's hook was made at the former John Brown's in Piper's Alley, Old Town Chicago, and is a piece of art in itself.
SHAMES NEWS FROM MARLENE
The Suburban Chicago Papers (The Sun) interviewed Jim Pilster in June 2003 for a story on The Cryan' Shames called "Cryan' out loud". The story can be seen on suburbanchicagonews.com
June 15, 2003 South Bend, IN. Cryan' Shames Concert
By Diane Raddatz
Those of us that made the trek out to South Bend on Father's Day may have found it worth the trip. Even more so than Dunkin' Donuts.
The bluehaired girls in the front row put on a show of their own, much to the apparent surprise of the Cryan' Shames! Mess with us, will ya? After Jimmy's comment about the front row in the Joliet Sun the week before, Marlene had a great idea. And Karen, God bless her pea picking little heart, actually did the running around required to make it happen. When the boys pranced out on stage, we were all wearing our silver-blue mullet wigs. Except Li'l; she sprayed hers! (Get that out, yet, Li'l?) , and every one of them was cracking up when they got a load of us! Then we put them back on when they sang "our song." Babs, Sue, Sharon & Lyn, you were the only missing links that would have made it perfect!
Everyone seemed to be in rare form, too! Bobby, you are obviously getting used to us bluehairs, loosening up quite a bit and having lots of fun. It shows in your singing.
The Stereo Daves are getting the feel of the whole thing, too. Throw in the other three (need I name names?) and you've got a show worth traipsing out to Carol Stream for!
Hopefully, the traffic coming home won't be quite as brutal!
The Summer Festival Season is just begining for The Cryan' Shames with many concerts already slated for the summer season. Marlene O'Malley, our Chicago Area Rovin' Reporter, who has also been staff for The 60's Museum concert events, announced that their concert was a sell out, and a 100% success. Larry Coveny "The Silver One" will be singing lead at the July 4th Bensonville concert.
The 60's Museum
All profits go to the Museum to further the preservation and
display of everything related to that decade, from the Space Race,
Vietnam, Civil Rights and Cold War to changes in music, art and
lifestyles.
