Surf's Up at Whiting Lakefront Park!

I had to go to Whiting today, and for me, that's always an excuse to stop by the lakefront. I figured the waves would be churning and there might be some ice on the the fencing, but I didn't think there'd be surfers! Props to those guys, because I froze out there trying to photograph them! Anyway, here's my take from the few hours I was there..

Then I saw the surfers..

If you take a closer look and follow the arrow, you can see one of the crazy ducks that were out there as well... Not sure what kind they were, but they would dive and be down for quite some time..

The Midnight Ramblers

Need a good dose of some rock n roll? Then let me suggest The Midnight Ramblers. These NW Indiana rockers cover songs you'll know, and some of those forgotten classics you once loved, and probably still do. And still some you don't know, but might be looking into after hearing it from them.. I love that they play songs that you don't normally hear from cover bands around this area.. I mean, how often do you hear Kings X or Motorhead from local bands that are not strictly a metal band? And if the hard stuff is not your thing, don't worry, you're gonna hear something you'll like.. They range the gamut from the 60's on.. Remember the song "Time Has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers? They do a kick ass rendition of it... (if you don't recognize the title, Google it, it's a great song from an important era in music.) 
I personally don't listen to the radio much anymore, mostly because I feel Chicago is seriously lacking in good rock stations with a good variety. Thankfully, some of my favorite local bands make up for that.. And these guys are one of those bands. There's a link to their Facebook page at the bottom of the blog...
