		<description><![CDATA[I read this morning that Willie &#8220;Pinetop&#8221; Perkins has died. He was perhaps best known as the piano player in Muddy Waters&#8217; band but he was much more than that&#8211;he was 50 when he joined up with Muddy and was still playing in Austin this year, at age 97. I had the great privilege of [...]]]></description>

McCall Smith had previously implied that he would be shelving &#8220;44&#8243; to work on other things, most notably a new series set in Pimlico that kicked off with &#8220;Corduroy Mansions.&#8221; If you aren&#8217;t familiar [...]]]></description>
