Kansas City - 8.26.12 Cigar Box Guitar Fest - Kansas City Missouri

The KC CBG fest is hosted by Kevin Kraft. Held at BB's Lawnside BBQ & Blues. This is the real deal for blues and BBQ in a town that loves both. 8.26.12. I'm going to try the combination plate. ;}

Kansas City

I'’ll be standing on the corner on the corner of Twelfth Street & Vine.

but if I have to walk I'm gonna get there just the same.

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.
