Ed Dziedzic taught history in the Chicago Public Schools and worked on the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade. He is a great believer in the power of music and serendipity to change lives. In this childhood memory, Ed recalls discovering the blues through old record albums and two blues harmonicas that his older brother left behind when he moved out of the family house. Ed takes us through his teenage days visiting Chicago's infamous Maxwell Street open street market. He explains how the music he heard at that outdoor trading post impacted his life in ways he could not have imagined. In the end, Ed's story is a personal love story told with one of Chicago's most famous historic neighborhoods as a backdrop.
