hallaPalooza!

What awesome music were you introduced to? Did it change your life? Please be specific. Send me a paragraph of your memories from the 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s, or 2000’s. Val’s Halla has provided four decades of musical influence and support in Chicagoland. Let’s return the love.  Juiciest stories will be posted to my blog, the OPAD website, and other local e-news sites.
