Just something of note: As I go on my "vacation" (yeah, um, sure) several guest bloggers are stepping in. They have been instructed to post whenever they get the urge. You'll see their names pop up over there to the right in the next couple of days. Say howdy. Comment and often and tell 'em what a great job they're doing.

I'll hopefully be back in a few weeks... Till then, I personally leave you with a few random tracks.

Louis Prima, "Yes, We Have No Bananas"
Joe Jackson, "(Do the) Instant Mash"
The Beatles, "I Me Mine"

And from Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter:

David Byrne, "Don' Fence Me In"

I absolutely can't wait to read what my friends and fellow posters put up. Thank you.
