Our 1st Gig in 2020 was in Chicago this January and just blocks from our debut performance 40-years ago to the date. We played to a full house at Polonia  Banquets on Archer Ave. as we rekindled many friendships and memories. Thank  you to Gina Gomulka, Mike Stapinski, Linda & Al Jelinek for the awesome  presentation boards, a collage of photographs from down through the years. Everyone loved the memorabilia. It was awesome to have original Push members Jim Piotrowski & Lenny Kapka sit-in, they sounded as cool as ever. Thank you my family and my friends. God Bless you always. This year 2020 is our official 40th Anniversary Push Tour. Please join us when and where you can.
