My Pick Show for the Last Day of February 2009

It is the weekend and, once again, it is cold here in Chicago.  We had really high temps and then we had rain and now we have cold wind and snow and ice on the roads.  You have to love winter in the Chicago area. 

Earlier this week I mentioned Skinny Williams and even found a clip of him playing.  So, for me, that was the pick show of the week as soon as I saw it.  Thanks goes out to WDCB, the radio station and their website for providing this information for me.
