Marty Sammon's Memorial Blues Fling-10/30/22

The great Chicago Blues Community came together on October 30, 2022 to celebrate & pay tribute to the fabulously talented Marty Sammon. Marty was a Chicago bluesman who also loved New Orleans. So his friends, family & musical colleagues gave him a most righteous NOLA sendoff, right in the heart of Chicago! Beginning with a Jazz Funeral procession into Chicago's Lyric Theater, followed by 5+ hours of music, memories & merrymaking in his honor & capped off with an unforgettable finale by all the musicians. The most touching moment was when his daughter, Katie Sammon, played Linus and Lucy (aka the Peanuts theme song), the 1st song she said her dad taught her to play. Look closely & you'll see Marty right there on stage (by the keyboards, naturally). May God rest your soul & keep you close, Marty,
