Just came across this video of "Charlie Birger Time" on YouTube. The song is apparently by a group called the "Copyrights". The video below is just some other guy.
Somehow I think it would it still please his Birger's ego to know people were still singing about him more than 80 years after his death in 1928.
This is where Illinois begins. It's a site designed to showcase the region's history in a way from which we can learn. We study history not to know the "who, what, when and where," but rather the "why" and the "how." The "who, what, when and where" of history is knowledge. The "why" and "how", well knowing that can lead to wisdom.
