Doug Mitchell: card-carrying hipster, hair grower & rhetorical superhero.

Sunday evenings at Jimmy's, in Hyde Park, Chicago, is the place to be if you'd like to understand   how drums & jazz fit together with freedom of speech & the five major parts of classical rhetoric.

Doug's green Gretsch provides an upbeat visual metonymy for the regular aural feast at Jimmy's.

Jr. Gong’s Halfway Tree is already on my all-time most frequently played "LP" list -- a list that includes The Clash, London Calling; Glenn Gould, Goldberg Variations; Miles Davis, Kind of Blue; The Minutemen, Double Nickels on the Dime; Al Green, Greatest Hits; Bob Marley, Babylon by Bus; and Earth, Wind, and Fire, That's the Way of the World. You want a little church up in here? You want justice and peace?
Halfway Tree is your soundtrack.
