There also was a cafenion (as i was told ) and it probably is still there where all the musicians would meet ,get jobs ,and so forth >.There was in and around 1968 ,a clarinet player , kaltsas, he played the panigiri circuit ,he came to chicago in the 80,s and christos papakostantinos a small time professional clarinet player ( paratsoukli) KAMARAS . kalstsas was the bigger name (professional)
