**** Duchin ****

   Duchin is a guy who was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, in the shadows of the now dormant steel mills.

     .....'tis sad, 'cause he loved the camaraderie of the old neighborhoods - which included lots of family discipline and merciless, but good natured, teasing from uncles, aunts, cousins ... which he passed on to his younger sisters, and brothers. ;)

     Sometimes, one can now find Duchin playing his piano keyboards at some rat-hole blues bar or in the back room, savoring the smoke of a good cigar, over a game of quarter/buck poker ... amongst friends, good friends.

     Duchin likes the mind of the free thinker. Those who can change, challenge, or remain the same. His mind is open ... to just about anything.
