| "...it's just the spot to put Harrison in Harrison Street. Fab!" Lou Carlozo, Chicago Tribune-Tempo Sec.-"One Fine Day", January 19, 2008 Wonderwall Music Shoppe & Emporium is located in the Oak Park Arts District on Harrison Street, near Cuyler and Harrison Streets, one block east of Ridgeland Avenue; just west of downtown Chicago, exit Austin Blvd from I-290. Mapquest. The store's name is derived from the 1968 movie, "WONDERWALL - The Movie". While still with the Beatles, George Harrison was asked to make the soundtrack to the movie. George was already very much into the Indian music and recorded a number of tracks with Indian musicians playing authentic Indian instruments. Some of these artists are world famous today. The movie is very much of the times, a very psychedelic one indeed! Our connection with Indian music. As professional musicians of Indian classical music, we've been performing around Chicago for a number of years with our group, Sandalwood Sitar Music Ensemble. Also, we've been dealing in Indian music with our online music store, Sitar Emporium. Combined with our love of the Beatles and other interests, the name "Wonderwall" was the right choice.....and, we're on HARRISON Street, 'the coolest place in Oak Park'! WONDERWALL is Chicagoland's only retail music store to offer private Sitar Lessons by classically-trained sitar player Clar Monaco, one of Chicago's most highly respected Sitar Players and Sitar Teacher. Clarji, as his students respectfully call him, continues advanced studies with world renown Indian artist, Pandit Ronu Majumdar of the Maihar Gharana. Pandit Ravi Shankar, also of the same gharana, is one of Ronuji's gurus too. Ronuji recorded at George Harrison's Friar Park's recording studio on "The Chants of India", as well as with numerous top western artists. Clarji is also a faculty member of Sadhana School of Indian Music. *Chicago's retail location with Paul Saltzman's 1968 photos of "The Beatles In India" collection! *Proud sponsor of the Oak Park Ukulele Meetup Group aka "Harrison Street Ukulele Players". Special Events on a variety of related subjects include the Beatles, Indian music, Belly Dance, book signings, demonstrations, musical performances and more.
