It’s getting real. A full-color, 400-page paperback titled “Going to Kansas City: Its Rock ‘n’ Roll History” self-published, in stores and online by Thanksgiving. Packed with exclusive photos and interviews. Original research on the song “Kansas City” and the place where it was set, the Orchid Room at 12th and Vine. Chapters on bands throughout the 20th century, including otherwise obscure but important performers like Big Bob Dougherty and Larry Emmett and the Sliders. The section on record stores documents the Mob-related murder of Tiger Cardarella and beloved joints like Capers Corner and Penny Lane. Photos that put you back inside your favorite old haunts. And more. Stay tuned, please.
This sounds like a great book.
Will be in Lawrence the week before Thanksgiving. Might the Raven stock it?
Rick—I live in Avenue 81 now. Are you willing to speak to seniors here about your book? Please call or text me so we can discuss.
Thanks,
