On the corner, 12th Street and Vine

Actually, I won't be standing at that particular intersection at all, but following Wilbert Harrison's lead (by way of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, with a wave to Little Willie Littlefield), I'm going to Kansas City. (Kansas City, here I come.) This is basically a command performance: the children have commanded that I appear, or else. And they're just shrewd enough not to specify the true dimensions of "else".

The downside of this, or perhaps the upside of this, is that there will be a lower level of bloggage through the end of the week.

(See? It's possible to make an announcement of this nature without any reference to a frozen dessert.)
