Sorry that I couldn’t find the Ernestine Anderson version of this, which is my favorite. (“Ain’t nothin’ in Chicago for a sweet little boy like you to do,” sez she.) Apart from his preamble, I do like this Joe Williams version as my second favorite.
As you read these words, I will either be en route to this fine town, or milling about in a hotel there with about a thousand other women bloggeristas. Will report when/if possible.
Though I imagine there will be no dearth of reportage on the event, in the blogosphere and the Twittersphere. For obvious reasons. If anything, I fear the power will dip or go out entirely in that block. Power to women indeed.
Have a great time! Wish I could be there, too. Looking forward to your updates!
I so wish that I was going to be seeing you there! Have a great trip!
