A Bloomington-Normal Native Watches Paris Recover

As France recovers from the ISIS attacks GLT's Charlie Schlenker talks with an American in Paris. Bloomington-Normal native Ryan Weisheit is a saxophonist with Sweet Megg and the Wayfarers, a retro jazz group touring in Europe right now. Weisheit spoke via Skype from a street in the Belleville district just north of the 11th Arrondissement where the attacks happened. He says Paris is slowly returning to routine.

Sweet Megg and the Wayfarers performed at the Downtown Bloomington annual free GLT Summer Concert  in 2014.
