Episode 16: Mayor Daley on the Record

To celebrate the anniversary of Chicago being incorporated as a city, we look at the 1979 release Mayor Daley on the Record for episode 16. Bill Cameron compiled bits and pieces of “Hizzoner,” from happy to angry, and sometimes his rather artful use of the English language. Also, Sean gives some record storage tips as well. You don’t need to make a mountain out of a mole or fly all the way into O’Hara International Airport to enjoy the history behind “Da Mare.”
