CHICAGO — Corky Siegel feels fine.
“Terrific on all counts,” he says. “Just terrific.”
That is good to hear and it is always good to talk to Siegel, a Chicago treasure and a man with a million stories from a lifetime filled with music. He is 77, near the same age as new White Sox manager Tony La Russa and a great many other people but, as ever, his voice is filled with youthful enthusiasm.
