This is where it all began. My Grandfather, Jerry Chandler (aka Jerry Booton) was a very accomplished musician who had a career playing theatres and night clubs in the Chicago, and East Dubuque, Illinois area. Jerry was also a co-developer for the Lowry Organ and hosted two radio programs on KDTH in Dubuque, Iowa.
The above photo is a promo card that would be distributed throughout the tri-state area for The Circle night club located in East Dubuque, IL. Granddad Chandler played the Hammond Organ exclusively at his gigs and was also known to produce his own recordings at home. That's right, it's in the genes!!
Special thanks to my father, Ronald Chandler, for further input on this blog entry.
