Today I attended the 18th Annual The Chosen Few Old Skool Picnic. And what a great time I had. I missed the House Muisc parties in the 80′s as I was serving my country overseas. And when I came back to Chicago, I didn’t stay long before I moved to California and stayed for 10 years. There seems to have been a movement taking place for House Music that has lasted for all these years and continues to grow followers each year. House music lovers gather in Jackson Park for a annual event to celebrate their love for music they grew up on.
