My most recent synchronistic experience occurred yesterday, the same day as your synchronicity post. I received a Facebook friendship request, out of the blue, from a distant cousin, Chip Covington, who I have never known. We ended up “chatting” on Facebook, sharing stories and family photos all afternoon. He owned a blues bar called Biddy Mulligans on Chicago’s north side in the 1980s, before becoming a leader in the Chicago bluegrass community and helping to launch the Chicago Bluegrass Festival. A little Wilco family connection; Susan Miller Tweedy worked as a waitress at Biddy Mulligans. Chip shared a great photo of himself with Willie Dixon and Albert King in front of his club. Sue Miller is in the photo too. It also turns out that Chip Covington’s son lives in the town next to the community where my son, Tyler, lives north of Chicago. Cousin Chip and I are planning to get together for lunch and to play a few tunes together during my next visit to the States in August.

Sweet tale Jeff...memories and stories keep us moving and alive and knowing.
And the oral sharing of these tales make us who we are ...what our culture is.
Nice connection
