The Blue Condition (Illinois - US, Garage / Psych Rock) - mało znane zespoły
The Blue Condition (nie mylić z zespołem Jimi Richardsona o takiej samej nazwie z Tennessee) z Waukegan (Illinois, US) - grupa "odpowiedzialna" za wspaniały singiel (biały kruk garage / psych rock,
bardzo poszukiwany w kręgach kolekcjonerskich, ostatni raz "widziany" na eBay za 2500 USD) :
- "Lost Love" (Al Huisman)
- "Coming Home" (Bill Wilber),
nagrany (małe studio w Chicago) i wydany w 1968r. przez maleńką wytwórnię Tersa Records (nr kat.
101 / 102).

Udało mi się nawiązać kontakt z perkusistą zespołu - Richard A. Denikas, który przekazał mi materiały i
bezcenne informacje o tej grupie (Rich - thank you very much).
Grupa The Blue Condition powstała w 1967r. - w składzie :
- Bill Fishback - bass, backing vocals
- Alan Sjoholm - lead guitar, vocals
- Al Huisman - vocals, guitar
- Bill Gluth - drums,vocals.
W 1968r. (jeszcze przed nagraniem singla) Rich Denikas (drums, vocals) zastąpił Bill'a Gluth.
Młodzi chłopcy (16, 17, 18 lat) pochodzili z Waukegan i Zion, IL i byli uczniami liceum.
Grupa działała (1967 - 1972) na terenie dwóch stanów - Illinois i Wisconsin, występowała na
szkolnych potańcówkach, a póżniej w większych klubach tanecznych i salach koncetowych.
Oficjalnie (poza krótkim epizodem - występ w 1973r. na U.S.O. Show) zespól zakończył działalność w 1972r.

Al Sjoholm Bill Fishback and I Rich Denikas went on to perform as a 3 piece rock band 1969-73.
The blue Condition officially broke up in 1972 with a short re form in 1973 at a USO show.
The bad later reforms in 1980 as a Blues band called Tunes. That band broke up in 1979 .
Since then Al Sjoholm played as a single or hosted jam sessions and one in a while played in a band locally
Bill and Al S would sometimes play as a acoustic in bars.
I went on to play in Recording studios, assorted bands which included Bullseye ( country band) we were together 1980 - 1985 played many mid west shows . Later played in assorted bands and more recently played with Rudy Wazz and Wazz Up making a Cd ( for sale on ITunes).
