A three-day fundraising festival for Chicago's Experimental Sound Studio, who've been doing yeoman work with their Quarantine Concerts.  Among the performers are the great great flautist Claire Chase; the fabulous jazz pianist Craig Taborn, possessor of one of the sharpest minds in contemporary music; electronic music legend Paul DeMarinis; West Coast electronic music stalwart Laetitia Sonami; and that excellent cellist Katinka Kleijn, the only person to be a member of both the Chicago Symphony and ICE.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Here's a new (to me) discovery that I just love, the Blind Lemon Jefferson: muddle a lemon wedge in the bottom of cocktail shaker.  Add ice.  Pour in 2 oz. Rye and 3/4 oz. each of lemon juice and Simple Syrup, with four dashes of Fee's Whiskey Barrel Bitters.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.  Garnish with a lemon twist.  Drink a few of these and you won't care how clean your grave is kept.
