点评:I'm not much of a nightclubber. Oh, I took my date at my high school's Senior Prom to Mr. Kelly's and I took several dates to the London House, host to many of the great jazz musicians of the 1950s and 1960s. I also visited B.B. King's Blues Club in Memphis. So here I am, at Kingston Mines, the oldest and continuously operating blues club in Chicago. Located at 2548 North Halsted Street, in the city's Lincoln Park neighborhood, it derived its name from the Kingston Mines Theatre Company founded by June Pyakacek in 1969 at 2356 North Lincoln Avenue in Chicago and named after Kingston Mines, Illinois, where the father of one of its actors worked. The company was acquired in 1972 by Doc Pellegrino, who converted it into a blues club and moved it to its current location in 1982. Pellegrino died in 2018. Today, his daughters Donna and Lisa run the club. Open from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Thursday, 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Sunday, Kingston Mines' motto remains "Hear Blues. Drink Booze. Talk Loud. You're Among Friends." It showcases blues music ranging from Delta blues to Chicago blues. Koko Taylor, Carl Weathersby and Magic Slim have performed here. Weathersby, Linsey Alexander, Eddie Shaw, Peaches Staten, Ronnie Hicks, Joanna Connor and Mike Wheeler are regular performers. The Rolling Stones performed at the club in 1978. A long-standing tradition is the Sunday night Blues Jam that is free to join and anyone can participate.
翻译:我并不常去夜总会。不过,我曾带着高中毕业舞会上的舞伴去过凯利先生酒吧;还带过好几位女友去伦敦之家——那个在20世纪50至60年代接待过众多杰出爵士乐手的地方。我也去过孟菲斯的B.B.金布鲁斯俱乐部。如今,我来到了金斯顿矿山酒吧,它是芝加哥历史最悠久且至今仍在营业的布鲁斯音乐酒吧。它坐落于芝加哥林肯公园街区,地址是北哈尔斯特德街2548号。其名称源自1969年由琼·皮亚卡塞克在芝加哥北林肯大道2356号创立的“金斯顿矿山剧团”;该团以伊利诺伊州的金斯顿矿山镇命名,因为剧团中一位演员的父亲就在那里工作。1972年,多克·佩莱格里诺收购了该剧团,将其改造成一家蓝调俱乐部,并于1982年迁至现在的地址。佩莱格里诺于2018年去世,如今由他的女儿唐娜和丽莎负责管理这家俱乐部。营业时间:周四下午6点至凌晨2点,其他晚上7点至凌晨4点。周五和周六的营业时间为全天,周日的营业时间则为下午5点至凌晨1点。Kingston Mines的座右铭依然是:“聆听布鲁斯、畅饮美酒、大声畅谈——你正身处好友之中。”这里呈现的布鲁斯音乐风格多样,从三角洲布鲁斯到芝加哥布鲁斯应有尽有。科科·泰勒、卡尔·韦瑟斯比以及魔术斯利姆都曾在此演出。韦瑟斯比、林西·亚历山大、埃迪·肖、皮奇斯·斯塔顿、罗尼·希克斯、乔安娜·康纳和迈克·惠勒则是这里的常驻表演者。1978年,滚石乐队也曾在这家俱乐部登台演出。一个由来已久的传统就是每周日晚上的布鲁斯即兴演奏会,该活动免费参加,任何人皆可参与。
