I am an IT professional and part-time musician leading a 1920s-30s traditional jazz combo, RedHotBux, in Columbus, Ohio. I am seeking a living arrangement for a 2-3-week musical sabbatical in Chicagoland to work with musicians in Chicago's trad jazz scene.
Looking for an in-kind arrangement; I can provide pet care and lawn care/landscaping. I am mature (early 50s) but a fit and healthy outdoorsman and not afraid to exchange sweat for lodging.
I'm a Northwestern grad and I know the North Side and Evanston best, but comfortable anywhere with bus/L access to the Loop.
