Dr. Z comes down with a case of Chicago blues

UK department of surgery faculty, along with a contingent of divisional chief residents, made many positive contributions to the American College of Surgeons annual Clinical Congress in Chicago during the first week of October. But few made as memorable an impression as surgery department chair Dr. Jay Zwischenberger during the Board of Governor’s dinner.

Among his many professional interests, Zwischenberger is an advocate of music therapy and well-known among peers and the UK campus for his prowess on the “blues harp.”

So when the Chicago-based dance band, Orchestra 33, launched into a rousing version of “Sweet Home Chicago,” the eminent “Dr. Z” was called to the stage to join in. The end result was quite a show-stopper:

 Also on Zwiswchenberger’s impromptu Blues Harp tour of the windy city was a visit to “Buddy Guy’s Legends” for an unforgettable open mic invitation to play.
