Are there any bands in the Chicago area that you were just like 'wow, I need to try to get these guys...'?

Most bands in Chicago know how to get ahold of me, and if they're not interested in having me work on their records, I wouldn't want to put them on the spot by thrusting myself on them.

Also, do you work w/ any jam style bands and how do you do studio work w/ those bands?

I have worked with Blues Traveler and a few other jam-type bands. Generally, they set up and play live, so they can improvise and free-ball it the way they do onstage. It's a familiar and comfortable way for me to work.

If you're asking if I 'shroom first, then no, I don't 'shroom first.
