The next big show at Hillside is this Sunday, July 16. We will have about 75 dealers on hand with about 115 tables displaying great vinyl, CD's, posters and other related music items. If you're looking for Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues, plus many other areas of music, this is the place to be.
Also as a special added bonus, we will have former WXRT, WLUP, WKQX and WDRV disc jockey Bobby Skafish in person to sell and autograph his book "We Have Company - Four Decades Of Rock And Roll Encounters".
Book reviews:
“With over four decades as a silver-tongued D.J., Bobby Skafish turns his numerous interview moments into a can’t-stop reading adventure. Partly his thoughts on the interview process but mainly a memoir about his lifelong passion for music and those that make it. Highly recommended!”
--Johnny Mars/WXRT Radio
“Bobby Skafish delves into an interview with knowledge, finesse and the ability to get a conversation started. He once told me that listening is just as important as asking the questions. This book is proof that his approach is right on!”
--Wendy Snyder/WGN Radio
“Close encounters of the rock radio kind from the coolest cat to ever drop a needle on vinyl”
John Records Landecker/Radio Legend
