Jake and Elwood both got into the Ford along with Tom, Steve, and Matt who drove. Once every one had buckled up in both cars and both vehicles were on the main road, Tom spoke up.

""We have a gig tonight at about seven so we have several hours.""

""Great,"" Jake said, ""What city.""

""Coal City,"" Matt said.

""Coal City? Isn''t that where––""

""Yeah, but we''re not playing at the same place,"" Matt said as he began to head east from West Jefferson street then turning right on South Richards Street.

""Ok, Steve. Where do I turn now,"" Matt asked?

""Uh , turn right onto the1-80 West entry ramp to Moline/Rock Island and you''ll go about seven miles."" Steve paused while Matt did so. ""Now take I-55 S exit 126A to St. Louis.""

""Matt you don''t know how to get there,"" Jake asked?

""Dude I know the general direction Coal City is in but I mean it''s been about six years since I''ve been down this way,"" Matt replied.

""Take IL-113 exit 236 to Kankakee/Coal City. Now turn right here,"" Steve said indicating west Coal City road, ""and continue here on east Division Street. And we''re here.""

""Great. Now where did you say the gig was at,"" Jake asked?

""Uh, The Blues Bar,"" Matt said.

""The Blues Bar,"" Elwood said, ""Sounds good.""

""Yeah, it''s about ten minutes from here so if we go ahead and get there, then we can get set up and have a sound check,"" Steve said as Matt turned down a sidestreet.

The ten minutes they were driving was done so in silence. Finally Matt turned into the Blues Bar parking lot.

""Ok, everybody out and grab something,"" Jake said getting out of the Ford and opening the hatch pulling out several microphone stands.

Fifteen minutes later everyone was inside and almost done setting up the equipment for a sound check. When everything in it''s place they did several songs including Gimme Some Lovin'' and Soul Man.

""Ok, now that that''s done let''s just hang out till we have to go on,"" Tom said as everyone nodded, ""Sound good to you Jake?""

""Sure,"" Jake replied.

Several hours later it was time for the show. When the band got up on stage Tom and Elwood made sure the chords were all plugged in correctly and got ready.

Jake looked at Murph and said simply, ""First tune.""

To which Murph replied, "" Gimme Some Lovin''.""

The song started and Jake and Elwood did their little choreography. Once that was done Elwood aid the welcoming ''speech.''

""Hey everyone, we''re excited to be here in Coal City tonight and we hope you are too. We''re the Blues Brothers Show Band. I''m Elwood and this is brother Jake.""

To many people in the crowd these names wouldn''t have a big impact but to one single patron it did.

Griffen McDaniel was sitting at his usual table in the corner near the back sipping his Bud just as relaxed as could be. Until several names were said.

""Jake and Elwood Blues. Their the ones who skipped out of my money back in ''77. Dang,"" he said not in the least bit happy.

After doing the rest of their set everyone took out the equipment and put it in their vehicles. Once everything was put up they came back in to have a couple of drinks.

Before they even ordered them, Griffen decided to confront the brothers. Getting up from his table he walked over to them clenching his fists along the way.

A/N : I would like to thank Google for its maps link because it has helped me numerous times with the directions to Coal City from Joliet and other places. Plus could someone help me with a name for the chapter? Thanks!

P.S. Plus in the movie while Jake and Elwood are recruiting Murph and the others in the hotel, Elwood says that Jake got put into jail for sticking up the gas station to pay for the band's room service from the Kiwanis gig in Coal City. Most people think that he said 'Pols City' but he actually didn't. Gosh I love captions. LOL Griffen McDaniel is the owner of the hotel. The name is mine. I own it.
