SANDERS TO HOLD LATE-NIGHT RALLY IN CHICAGO

http://abc7chicago.com/politics/clinton-stumps-across-chicago-sanders-plans-late-night-rally-/1244549/

"Bernie Sanders hopes to energize voters in Chicago before they go to bed. A rally is planned for 10:30 p.m. Monday at Roosevelt University, where supporters began lining up mid-afternoon. Before coming to Chicago, Sanders began his day in Ohio.....

.....In recent days, Sanders has been running an ad highlighting Hillary Clinton's past ties to Rahm Emanuel. Sanders hoping to rally black voters who may be upset with the mayor.

ABC7 spoke with Sanders' wife, who says her husband is feeling good about his chances in Illinois.

"It looks good. It's a very tight race, and what we need is a high voter turnout. It seems that the more people vote, the better Bernie does," Jane Sanders said..."

that the older I get, the more fearless I get. I know it's not the same with everyone -- I recently had an exchange with someone who is only a couple of years younger than I am but whose life is constricted in various ways -- but while I can easily tell I'm not 25 any more I have a kind of stamina I did not have at that age.

He's balcony-diving into swimming pools down in Florida earlier, then heads north to Chicago for a late-night rally.

Bernie has slammed Rahm for the school closings. As well he should.

That would be my biggest worry with speaking so much. Saw him on an interview over the weekend and he sounded kind of hoarse.

On the other hand, hope Trump gets what I had 2 wks ago. He won't be able to talk and nobody would hear him from his hotel bathroom anyhow. We'd all get a break. Maybe even a break long enough for some of his followers to find their brains and grow some common sense.

it is used to replace a major I chord.... a tonic chord.

It's used for color more than anything else. It comes around once each chorus here...
--root, minor third, fifth and minor 7th. first time at :43 sec resolves to a major I chord
Does that help?

but a lot of folks there in Chicago seem to be showing up. It will be another full venue. It may be indicative of a Sanders triumph in Hillary Clinton's home state.

Rahm's school closings could not be helping Hillary much, since she and Rahm go way back.

The vibe could be brating Bernie's way. I hope so.
