About this episode

Terry arrives in Chicago and explores the music scene while discovering her own talents.

Terry reaches the "Big City"- Chicago, and it doesn't take long after she reaches State Street until she hears a music hawker accompanied by a piano player banging out some popular tunes. The hawker, in an attempt to attract buyers for his sheet music, is advertising his wares from a second story window . This was in the days before radio. Since Terry is a good player herself, she finds herself headed up the stairs to satisfy her curiosity. Get all of our shows at one website: www.bestof1001stories.com REVIEWS NEEDED .
