He's led the 'dream life'... jammin' blues in every bar in Minnesota and Wisconsin, then spending the night on the road, in an old beat up van, usually cold, and snowing. Steve started blowin harp in '68, playin on the lakeshore, in laundry rooms and culverts to find 'the sound.' One night he was jamming with some guys he just met in an old roadhouse down by Cedar Lake and the place was packed. At one point the hot, sweaty crowd just stopped dancing to watch, and he never looked back. He knew he'd finally found it. Dean Wolfson plays bass. He's been jammin' round the twin cities since the 70's. Dean also plays for folk June 16, 2009 rocker Geno LaFond.

Design donated by the artist; funded by The Field Foundation of Illinois, the Wood’s Charitable Fund, Inc. and the Chauncy and Marion Deering McCormick Foundation. LOCATION: Richard J. Daley Civic Center Plaza 50 W. Washington St. The first monumental modern sculpture to be placed in the Loop, The Picasso was initially greeted with controversy. At the time of its installation in 1967, the abstract design puzzled many and the non-traditional materials and huge scale angered others. However, this gift from the artist to the people of Chicago has over time become an icon of the city and a source of civic pride. While opinions of the sculpture’s subject matter vary, it is acknowledged as a monumental achievement in Cubism, the artistic style pioneered and explored by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and his French contemporary, Georges Braque, between 1907 and 1911.
