   This 11 years after this thread was posted but I had to say something.   
   I saw Bonnie Koloc at the Earle several times, Fitzgeralds, the Pump Room in   
   the Ambassador East, She was definitely a favorite of mine./ Never understood   
   why she never "broke out" - what an instrument ! The American Airlines ad   
   "Mother Country" made me    
   cry almost every time I listened to it on her album. Her highs are so pure and   
   sweet, her bluesy vocals with the just enough down home midwest (Iowa) folk   
   never failed to move me. One life long highlight I will never forget was when   
   I saw her at the old "   
   Taste of Chicago" when it was on the old Navy Pier before it became the   
   tourist trap that it is today. I stood in in the front row and she asked for a   
   volunteer, I hesitated a second and then I was on stage next to her. I danced,   
   the crowd roared, she    
   said she should take me on tour with her. She had no idea what that meant to   
   that shy 20 something at the time. Wish I could get video of that moment.   
   Bonnie do you ever come to San Francisco, I left my beloved Chicago 15 years   
   ago. Miss looking up    
   Bonnie's next show in The Reader !
