Here's Mama Rosa back in the late 50s.  I saw her working behind the bar about 20 years ago. A lot of mileage on that woman. Her son owned the bar then and ran it for a long time afterwards. I don't know if he still owns it. There's a sign on the wall saying "Rosa's - Celebrating 40 Years of blues." Melvin Taylor started playing there as a teenager growing up on Chicago's west side. He still comes back about once a quarter and plays a one day 2 show gig. |
