Starting (and ending) at Alsip-Merrionette Park Public Library, we’ll pedal on quiet Alsip, Illinois streets to the three historic cemeteries along the Cal-Sag: Burr Oak, Restvale, and Lincoln Cemetery, where Blues artist and historian Harmonica Neil meets us graveside to tell stories and share the music of the artists resting below.
