  1. I have a copy of single no. 780451 - Baxter Brothers, Whirlwind / Soft Missouri Night. They lived in Heyworth for awhile and played regular gigs at the Hickory House pub in the late 70s or early 80s. As I recall, the single was featured on WLS in which two new singles were pitted against each other and the listeners called in to vote on which one got more airplay. Can't recall if they won or not, but Whirlwind is a good rocker. They later made an LP more in the C&W vein.

  2. Hello, I am looking for any records made by Jim Estes and the Blue Echoes. Please reach out to me at my email melodicability@gmail.com if you can help me. Jim Estes was my grandfather. Thank you

    1. Jim Estes recorded three 45s at Golden Voice. Copies of all of them are with the Golden Voice collection at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. One of the 3 is on the the big wall if you enter by the theater. That one is "Evil Off My Mind" and "Alabam. There is also one in the window down the North Hallway. The songs are "Rainmaker and "We've reach The End." The one in the window can be played on your cell phone if you hold your QR on your phone up to the QR code. If you have a picture of the band, they are looking for one.
