Peoria Civic Center

It had been 6 long years since John graced
a stage in Peoria. His last visit was at the Madison
Theater with R.B. Morris and it was the first time I had shown him
his Prine Shrine all printed up when it was much smaller and still
able to fit in a book.
We were 17 miles outside of Kickapoo, IL
on our way to the East
Peoria Hotel for the "Mike Winters - Prine family reunion". In front of us
crossed a little white car with the vanity plate of 'BZZZZ' and I knew it
was a sign that we were in for a good time. We
arrived early in the day and found the Civic Center, a large shiny metal icon just
down the street from where he had played before. We wandered around the Civic
Center (quite a feat), and gained our bearings. We did a little sightseeing
trying to remember the places we had been before. "Babe's
Bar and Grill" looked inviting and as we were eating our sandwiches
we saw Jason Wilber and Dave Jacques cross the
street and head towards the entrance, they stood at the doorway, said a
few words and walked away. I ran out the door and hollered as they reached the other side
of the street, "Were you going to come until you saw me?"
Mind you we were "talking" across 4 lanes of traffic. They
pointed to their ears and said something about being loud, Jason had a
notebook, so I assumed that they meant it was too loud in Babes for them
to do their homework... All I could think of was "huh, too loud for
musicians? What's up with that?"
