FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE, His woman left hum, he's broke, and it's Almost five o'clock in the mornin'. But don't be worryin' 'bout our hero, Normax. Five guys, Big Moe, Eat Moe, Little Moe, No Moe and Four-Eyed Moe magically jump out of a 1930s jukebox to cajole, wheedle, comfort and jazz him with the whimsical hit songs of Louis Jordan, one of the most beloved songwriting talents of the twentieth century. "Fun so contagiously good-natured, you just won't want to leave" , (USA TODAY). Who could ask for anything "Moe"? .

My favorite radio people in Chicago. They sponsor all kinds of events including a monthly
big band bash the fourth Wednesday. They have been featuring the Burgess Gardner Big Band.
If you are not hip to Burgess, trumpeteneur, master composer and arranger, father of a
couple of jazz legend sons, then you have not been jazzin with the Zebra Libra. Check out
the Wednesday, May 22 concert at 7pm, if you live in Chicagoland. THE HARAMBEE HOUSE
is located at 11901 South Loomis in Chicago. Take I-57 south to 119th Street East exit. Go east
on 1-57 to Loomis Street, about 1/2 mile (the second light). Look for the Harambee House sign
and turn into the free parking lot.
