Blast From The Past - John Mahoney at Silvies

I just had to share the experience we had last night when Judy and I went to see John play a set at Silvies Lounge on Irving Park Rd in Chicago.  John was amazing (which is the title of one of the numbers he performed) and he absolutely blew me away.  Combination of remembering the timbre of his voice from way back and with this performance the remarkable range of musical "chords" that he struck with just his own guitar backing up his incredible voice made this experience unforgettable and an emotional high for me.  Quite a one-man show.  Can't help but observing a similar feeling than everyone recently felt with Susan Boyle.  He really should do this more often and more seriously.  We all deserve to hear more.   His short set included.
