*Ken Peplowski's tribute to Benny Goodman is previewed by The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle. The show is at the Folly Theater on December 18.

Please tell me exactly where on her site the May 6 date is shown...I can't find it anywhere. It's maddening.

Ah, well, I'll give her a pass this time since she's a "jazz person" on Twitter. I'd be on there if I had a phone that could handle it, and frankly, I'd rather now follow on a PC. Twitter just seems to be the type of thing that should be read from your palm, not a desktop.
