IN THIS ISSUE: JUNE 24 - JULY 8
For the longest time, Warner Robins hasbeen synonymous with Robins Air ForceBase and not much more. Also known as
the International City, this moniker implies acommunity full of diversity and culture. But,truth is, Warner Robins has a reputation for hav-ing no downtown area to speak of and not muchculture or personality.
This is soon to change, if some motivatedindividuals have their way. Members of theDowntown Development Agency, in conjunctionwith the city, are diligently working to revitalizeCommercial Circle with future plans to reachbeyond the initial boundaries to affect otherareas nearby. And, although progress is slow,some big plans are in the works.
In just 15 short weeks, the city of WarnerRobins will host the International CityFestival. On October 1, Commercial Circle willbe bustling with food & craft vendors, livemusic, kids’ activities, and there will even be aFish-a-rama just up the street. The MiddleGeorgia Cruisers and the Central GA RegionalCar Club are sponsoring a Cruise In and plansare in the works for a 5K run through TownCenter. Proceeds from the event are designatedfor use in furthering the renovation of the Circle.
To those of you who complain that there isnever much to do in Warner Robins, now is yourchance to help change things. Now it’s up to youto “put up or shut up.” By volunteering to help
with the festival, becoming a vendor, or justbringing the family to the event, you can make ahuge impact on your community.
The city has received an amazing amountof support surrounding areas. The 11th Hour isproud to be a sponsor, helping coordinate themusic scene and promotions; Georgia MediaServices of Hawkinsville are helping with web-sites and advertising, the cities of Perry, Ft.Valley, Byron, and Centerville have graciouslyoffered assistance in planning this event.
Vendor packets are now available for thoseof you who would like to apply for a booth. Youcan pick one up at several locations around town,including 1st Credit, McCall’s, the JoannaMcAfee Foundation and Flamingo Follies, locat-ed on Commercial Circle. You can find more dis-tribution points by visiting the Facebook Page:International City Festival.
For those of you who would like to volun-teer, there is a need for all kinds of help. If youhave skills, they need them. The most pressingneed at this time is a volunteer certified electri-cian. I encourage the rest of you to pass thisinformation on to your friends and family. Youcan learn more about the event by visiting theFestival Facebook page and upcoming website.

The things making our world just a little bit better | by brad evansWe LikeDuring my recent bout with pneumonia, a friendgave Ja No Man, by Richard Poplak. It’s a vividportrayal of the life of an ordinary white SouthAfrican growing up during apartheid-era SouthAfrica has been fun. Told with extraordinary humourand self-awareness, Richard’s story brings hisgradual understanding of the difference betweenhis country and the rest of the world to life in agreat read. I also came home from watchingPirates of the Caribbean 4 and read a biographyof Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. Ihadn’t given much thought to the fact that he reallyexisted and I must say that his life may have beenmore interesting than the legend. Pillaging had tohave been pretty damn fun.
During the recent surge of crime here in Middle
Georgia a reader wrote in asking if I had my carry-ing permit for concealed weapons. I do, but I rarelyuse it, because I don’t really want to shoot anyoneand if you don’t want to shoot someone with yourconcealed weapon, you’d probably be better offnot pulling it out. That said, it’s a fairly easyprocess, as long as you’re not a felon. Go to thesame place you get your marriage license in theBibb County Courthouse, bottom floor, and its 25bucks and will take two weeks.
I’ve been listening to Allen Toussaint the NewOrleans pianist and composer this week, mainlybecause I’ve been watching too much Treme.I also listend to Shabazz Palaces “Black Up” thisweek, the inspired hip hop. It was interesting, butI’m the first to admit I’m too old or big or too some-
thing to understand dubstep. Also listened to theBo Keys, an old-school sounding Memphisband, compromised of veteran session players.There new album “Got to Get Back” is a big oleBar Kays inspired vase of good. Their guitar playerwrote that riff from Shaft, fyi. I think it rocks thatLucinda Williams is coming to the Capitol Theatrein July. I don’t mind paying more for tickets, to getthe more intimate experience. Bragg Jamannounced Jamey Johnson tickets are now onsale for his late July show, which also rocks. Allthis right around the same two weeks as BraggJam itself (July 30), which just released it’s sched-ule. Go to www.braggjam.org to check it out andmake your plans.

If you don’t know Leslie Hoops-Wallace,you probably have heard of her. But,whether or not you know her name she
has impacted the quality of life in the MiddleGeorgia area. This amazing young woman is acapable creative artist and art teacher,involved in art centers and galleries,and is a serious promoter of the artsand artists. She is a great believer inthe communication power of thearts, especially the visual arts.
Like most people in WarnerRobins, Leslie was born somewhereelse. She spent her formative years inTexas where her family exposed herto artists and galleries. She spenttime with artist Leslie Cope in his studiowatching him paint farm scenes. She metDalhart Windberg, known for his paintings ofTexas Blue Bonnets, and took art from JimFrank, himself a student of Windberg’s. HerOhio grandfather worked in the famousCrooksville Pottery in Ohio.
Even with all this art exposure, Lesliefirst wanted to be a veterinarian. Her love ofanimals is evident in her art today. Whenasked about her favorite subject matter sheinstantly replied, “Horses. I got in trouble inelementary school for drawing them when Ishould have been doing assignments.” Anexcellent example is the painting “Waiting forChurch to Get Out”, where she painted ahorse hitched to a wagon in front of oldRichland Church. The model for the horsewas her own Christy, a horse she once owned.
Leslie also accepts commissions for Pet
Portraits. Love your pet? Call Leslie to cap-ture that special personality. She has paintedcats, dogs, horses and even reptiles.
The artist said her most emotional paint-ing was “American Chaos”, showingPresident George Bush responding to theattacks of 9/11. This piece, along with a polit-ical cartoon by Leslie, was presented to the
president when he visited Perry the Octoberafter the attacks. Leslie has the thank you noteto prove it!
Here in Warner Robins She is noted forher aviation paintings, which celebrate the workof our armed forces and NASA. She recentlywon a first place for her acrylic painting,“Controller’s Nightmare” in the Arts and CraftsCenter’s Art Show on Robins Air Force Base.
Leslie even has illustrations in severalbooks including Bullmina, the CourageousBulldog by Lita Eitner-England, and theMacon Sketchbook .
Her playful side is revealed through herFantasy art. A must see are her Frog Prints andDragon Hog Day seen on her website,deviantart.com.
If you want to learn more about art, thenshe is a great source of information. She is amember of the Fine Art Society of Middle
THE AMAZING LESLIE-HOOPS WALLACE
Georgia, and has served as past presi-dent and corresponding secretary.Those jobs helped develop her pro-moting skills. “Middle Georgia hassome very talented artists, and they arereasonably priced. There is no excusenot to own original art work,” she said.
If you want to tap in to your innerartist, Leslie can help you there as well.This summer she is teaching Drawingand Painting at the Arts and CraftsCenter on base, Painting for Kids atthe Butler Brown Gallery in WarnerRobins, and Drawing for Kids atJoycine’s in Macon. She will alsoarrange lessons at the Byron ArtGallery, Cow and Calf. Leslie usuallystructures her classes so that each les-son is done in one sitting to accommo-date everyone’s busy schedule.
Leslie studied art education at theCollege of Arts and Crafts in Oakland ,California and holds an art degree fromthe Academy of Arts University in SanFrancisco. She is amassing quite the col-
lection of awards, but it is obvious that she is most proud when she sees that spark of communica-tion and appreciation between artist, art piece and viewer.
If you are ready for an art explore, Leslie can send you down the right path. Contact her onFacebook, or on the web at www.unicornsquest.sharemyartwork.com orwww.unicornsquest.deviantart.com. Or phone her at 478-929-2263.

When people are struggling to makeends meet, many things can fallthrough the cracks, including the
twenty minutes daily standard for reading toyour child. Extensive studies have proven thatchildhood literacy and adult modeling of read-ing improves the overall success and, ultimate-ly, the income potential of all children.Children of low income families and their par-ents, unfortunately, have less access to thebasic materials needed to maintain a standardof high literacy. This is where the Bookmobilecomes in.
The first known book mobile in Americawas born in Chester County, South Carolina.It was a mule drawn wagon carrying woodenboxes of books and its purpose was to servicerural areas that had limited access to books.Farmhands and children who could readwould look forward to the opportunity tocatch up on news and entertainment that trav-eled no faster than said mules. The principle issimilar now. Though information travels atlightning fast speeds, not everyone has accessto those services.
Fifth grade teacher Jesse Anderson andmedia specialist Lynn Wood , both employedat Lakejoy Elementary, have a mission: spreadand improve literacy. They approached a prin-cipal’s meeting a few years ago with the idea toimplement a bookmobile project for their dis-trict and the participation and excitement has
grown every year. The bookmobile providesthose who do not have ready access to bookswith the opportunity to read. In conjunctionwith the school nutrition program, whichdelivers nutritious meals to those without themeans to maintain a healthy diet, the HoustonCounty Board of Education has sponsored thisprogram for the last three years. Now it is sys-tem wide.
The Read and Feed Program is, quite lit-erally, driven by volunteers. The blue van canbe heard in neighborhoods, beeping its hornand calling kids out to read. Over a hundredchildren at Red Fox Run come out to the oldoak tree to check out what’s new. Local ele-mentary school personnel alternate manningthe HCBE van that provides magazines, puz-zles, coloring books and work books for chil-dren and their families to check out.
Eagle Scout, Sean Palmer built theshelves that hold the mobile collection. “A lotof teachers and administrators from twentyschools are volunteering their time this sum-mer,” said Beth McLaughlin, Houston CountyBoard of Education’s director of Communityand School Affairs. Dr. Douglas Rizer, princi-pal at Lakejoy Elementary said, “The enthusi-asm that these kids have for this program isoverwhelming!”
The statistics speak volumes. In theUnited States, people with low literacy levelsare less successful than those with high literacylevels. According to Ferst Foundation forChildhood Literacy, adults at the lowest level
of literacy proficiency, 43% live in poverty.Among adults with strong literacy skills, only4% live in poverty. In addition to this, half ofAmerica’s “below basic” level readers failed tocomplete high school and of those at “basic”level 1/3 dropped out.
In recent surveys, it has been determinedthat the average American reads at a seventhgrade level and only 15% read at what is con-sidered a level which is “fully literate”. If thisseems like a heavy handed introduction to asummer literacy program, then at least it getsyour attention. Of the children participating inthe program, all stayed at the same level orincreased levels according to the applied litera-cy inventory.
Many people are involved in the Readand Feed project. Reading First and theGamma Omicron chapter of Delta KappaGamma donated time and books. FlintEnergies applied grant money to the project.Anyone is welcome to participate and donate.The bookmobile accepts board books for tod-dlers to college textbooks. Letters were sentout to families by the twenty schools involvedon a need based priority, in coordination withthe school nutrition programs. For moreinformation on how you can find the bookmo-bile in your area contact Dr. Rizer [email protected].

People of every persuasion seem tolove Café Caribe. At opening timeon Thursday, a line formed outside
of the door. Almost a dozen people wait-ed to be served at this unassuming store-front a stone’s throw from CommercialCircle in Warner Robins.
The restaurant, previously located onDavis Drive, has only been open in itscurrent location a little over three months,but one has the impression that this is anestablished and well-loved café: WarnerRobins’ answer to home-cooked meals ala Hispaniola. People from all over themiddle Georgia area drive to get a caféCubano or a mamey (fruit milkshake) andorder from the diverse menu. In spite ofgas prices, it seems that people will trav-el great distances to get a taste of authen-tic island cuisine.
Authentic is precisely what ownerEdwin VillaFana had in mind when heopened Café Caribe. From selections oftraditional fare such as flan, which a
Dominican mama in fact does make, tothe anticipation-inspiring café cubanosthat only two of the staff members canbrew to exquisite perfection, there is thesense that you are waiting for somethingworth the wait.
The Cuban Chop is a revelation.Sweet plantains garnish the dish and thePuerto Rican salsa presents its festiveblast of color atop the traditional blackbeans and delicately aromatic spiced ricethat perfectly off-sets a choice of beef,pork or chicken. In a word—amazing. Itis evokes a sense of nostalgia.
When served the chicken chim-michurri (pressed sandwich with chicken)six-year-old patron Luke stated, “It’s a lit-tle different but it’s so yummy!” And yes,for the picky-eater, they serve Frenchfries.
Lunch is the largest and most impor-tant meal of the day on the islands, muchin the same way it is in Spain. CaféCaribe does not disappoint in lunch selec-tions. Specials are run daily and arepriced very competitively at $5.99,
entrees are all priced under $10. This is no puny meal. The pit roasted
rotisserie chicken is a daily feature on themenu and appeals to almost any palate.The spices are not overwhelming. Even thechicken curry is a delicate affair that does-n’t so much take your breath away, as causea gasp of recognition in those who long fora good curry. It is curry a Brit can love.
The rice is prepared to perfection, andthose with wheat or gluten allergies will bepleased to find…wait for it…options! Theoxtail soup, a mainstay of island cuisine, issucculent and the meat falls off of the bone.There are also vegetarian options.
VillaFana, was born and raised in theDominican Republic. This island countryshares one border with Haiti but like mostCaribbean countries, it boasts a truly diverseculture. The Spanish influence is comingledwith that of Africa, and the native Taino.Fusion is in the blood of the people. Thefood speaks the volumes of their history.
Café Caribe is open Monday throughSaturday from 11-3 for lunch and theyanticipate a change in hours soon toaccommodate a pouring liscense. This lit-tle spot brings a pop of flavor to down-town Warner Robins and isn’t flavor whateveryone wants?

Most, like me, lose interest orsimply believe that learning tofly an airplane is just too
expensive or unachievable. The guys atPERRY AIR, at the Perry Airport, wouldbeg to differ.
I had the awesome opportunity tovisit with Owner, Dale Snyder and SeniorFlight Instructor, Ken Pike last week andgot an in-depth education on how fun andaffordable flying can be. I was immedi-ately impressed with how passionatethese guys are about flying and more soabout teaching others how to fly. Ken hasbeen a flight instructor for over 12 yearsand his confidence in his plane and hisability certainly put me at ease.
As we taxied down the runway intheir Cessna 172, my heart was thumpinga little harder than usual. I could feel theplane leave the ground as it turnedupward into the big blue sky and wegradually climbed up to about 2800 feet.at which point Ken turned the controlsover to me. I swallowed the knot in mythroat as I took the yoke and we soaredover the fields surrounding Perry and FortValley for roughly half an hour learninghow to bank left and right, how to gainelevation and descend and overall just geta feel for the plane.
I could hear Ken pointing out placeslike Lanes, Fort Valley College and eventhe AF Base, but I was “intent on keepingmy eye on the road” as noted by myinstructor. “The plane wants to fly andwill pretty much do it on its own. We justshow you what NOT to do,” Ken said. Iwas reluctant, yet relieved when I finallyreleased command of the vessel back toher captain and he executed a perfectlanding.
Once we were back on the groundand out of the plane, it was impressedupon me that flying is not a game foronly the wealthy. What one will spend ongolfing or fishing can be comparable towhat one will spend on flying lessons. Iwas informed that it takes roughly 40hours of lessons to get your license,which, by the way, never expires as longas you keep current on your medicalcheckups.
Planes are available for rent, lease orpurchase and can cost less than many newcars today. Fuel runs around $5 plus pergallon but is still within a reasonablebudget. “..it’s a matter of passion. Peoplewho truly love to fly and want to learn,will find a way. We have taught doctorsand lawyers but we have also taught con-struction workers and small business
owners,” he said. So if you have been thinking how
cool it would be to learn to fly a plane,take your friends to Savannah for dinner,fly your fiancée to New York for the dayor whatever your flying dream may be, Iencourage you to consider talking to theguys at Perry Air. If you are just “air-curi-ous”, they offer great deals for just takinga short flight around and seeing if youlike it.
This experience would make a greatgift, or it could simply be a fun familyouting. Whatever the occasion, get yourderriere to Perry Air and experience foryourself how much fun flying can be. Perry Air is located at 200 Myrtle FieldRoad, in the Perry Airport. You can reachDale and Ken at (866)491-9584 or visittheir website at www.perryairflight.com

We asked folks at Shenanigan’s:Would you rather fly a plane or jump out of one?

SCENE your neighbors’ opinions on local and national affairs | COMMUNITY
“When the husband is about to leavewithout his wife, he states with the gravestof looks, ‘You must live alone for manydays; do not go out with other men nor bea prostitute.’”
That blunt request comes straightout of the Bible. I read that theother day and it made me chuckle.
How ludicrous would it be to have suchparting words cast at me?
But periods of separationare a part of what happens toour military families, and ahusband can routinely be sentaway for weeks or months, andsometimes over a year. Thesesituations can lead to somepretty crazy antics while thecat is away. (If you can imag-ine it, the mice have probablyplayed it.) Take for examplethis vignette:
Back in the early ‘90s, the Air Forcewas often deployed to Saudi Arabia.There was the first Gulf War and a “No-Fly Zone” to enforce over Iraq. The guyswould routinely rotate out for 3-6 monthsat a time to “The Desert”, which has sincebecome a four-letter word for the spouses.What’s a girl to do with total reign of thehouse, all that extra space, and no hus-band to check-up on her for all thosemonths? I know of one “lady” who sawthis as a home-based business opportuni-ty and I‘m not talking Mary KayCosmetics.
This unfettered woman was also amother with two wonderful little girls toprotect and nurture. The family lived onbase in a three-bedroom home and for themost part, seemed quite normal. But,there sure seemed to be an unusualamount of foot traffic. Really, how many
chivalrous men are there that are so con-cerned about this damsel in distress? Thenthere were all the Joe Blow “handy men”stopping by (without toolboxes) to getsome kind of a job. How many “friends”and “cousins” are staying over there tokeep the family company and help out?One doesn’t need a khaki trench coat anda long-handled magnifying glass to figurethis out.
Soon enough, the husband returnedweary from his travels and without aheads-up to the wife. Alas, it was uncov-ered that the wife had been renting out the
bedrooms and running her very ownbrothel—all on federal property. The wifewasn’t one of the prostitutes, but servedas the madam. Nonetheless, besides run-ning an illegal business and shaming herhusband to no end, she did not considerher children in the matter. It’s no surprisehere that she ended up divorced and with-out a shred of child custody.
While this story is an isolated inci-dent, it is an interesting testament to thepossibilities while a spouse is deployed. Idon’t know, but maybe the madam wastrying to supplement the widely-knownlow income for troops. There was a reces-sion then, too. Perhaps she was trying tostimulate the economy with some jobgrowth in the service industry. Despite ifher heart was in the right place or not, shemade some ill decisions; ill decisions thatwere enabled by being left to live alonefor many days.

Gateway Macon’s latest highprofile, attention-grabbingcontest, aptly entitled Macon
Music, was introduced this week atthe Douglass Theatre on the same his-toric stage where Otis Reddinglaunched his legendary career.“Macon is looking for the next gener-ation super star to call its own,” saidExecutive Director, Beth Dunwody.
“The Gateway Initiative developedthe new musical competition to createmore buzz and to enhance the publicawareness of Macon’s rich musical her-itage.”
Macon Music’s $25,000 total prizepackage is an investment in Macon’seconomic future and a catalyst forattracting top talent. According to a2011 study conducted by B. WilliamRiall, Ph.D., the estimated economicimpact of the music industry in Georgiais $3.7 billion annually.
Additionally, the study credits theindustry with creating 19,955 jobs andgenerating more than $313 million intax revenues for state and local gov-ernments. The Macon Music contestwinner will receive studio time torecord a three song EP (extended playmini-album). Two- time Grammy-nominated Macon resident and percus-sionist, Steve Moretti, will produce theproject. The grand prize packageincludes a hi-definition music video,an array of promotional tools, and aCD release party at the Grand OperaHouse.
Macon Music is phase two of anintegrated marketing campaign that
was strategically planned to highlightMacon’s musical assets. As its inau-gural project last fall, GatewayMacon commissioned an originalsong and produced a music video toshowcase the city’s assets.
Rollingstone rocker ChuckLeavell, international violinist RobertMcDuffie, rapper Sonny Spoon,Grammy-nominated drummer SteveMoretti, guitar virtuoso Peter Stroudand singer/songwriter Tony Reyescollaborated to develop “A LittleMore Soul.” In the span of ninemonths, the song and video have gar-nered global viewership and a bevy ofnational accolades including multipleTELLY and ADDY awards. The sameaward-winning sound, design andproduction team will judge, produceand develop the Macon Music prizepackage.
For More Information on theGateway Initiative Contact: BethDunwody The Gateway Initiative478.314.2231, [email protected]
Want to Make some Music?Submissions are due by August 15,artists must be available for recordingin Macon Sept/Oct. Musicians enter-ing the contest must submit examplesof previous recordings, artists state-ment and lyrics for three originalsongs with scratch recordings. Thefinal product must promote Macon asa music destination and increaseawareness of Macon’s unique charac-ter somehow in the song.

FEEDBACK... ANDNOT THE KINDYOU GET FROM AMICROPHONEAs The 11th Hour cele-brates it’s third month inHouston County, I amoverwhelmed at the
response I have gotten from bands, venuesand readers alike. I am thrilled to have theopportunity to bring you the what’s whatof the local music scene, to meet all of youamazing musicians and DJ’s and to be apart of making Wartown the best it can bewhen it comes to live entertainment. It’sreally an awesome experience to hang withpeople like Leroy Wilson, Jason Hobbs,Mat Weber, DJ Drive, Anny Stanley and somany more that I want and need to meetsoon. I want to thank all of you who aresupporting this magazine and support localmusic. With all of that being said, I ask foryour continued feedback about our musiccommunity. As the saying goes, “it takes avillage” so please send your comments [email protected]
80/20I was playing a gig at El Cotija MexicanRestaurant when a young man, probablyno more then 17 or 18 came in, politelydropped a 5 spot in my tip jar and asked ifhe could play a song. I have at least triedto learn not to judge a book by its cover soI said sure, why not. Immediately, Iexpected to hear something less thanappealing and what I got was an amazingrendition of Andy Mckee’s ‘Drifting’. Ifyou are not familiar with Andy Mckee,pull him up on Youtube and prepare forawesomeness. I recognized something inthis young man as we talked for a bit that Isee in so few learning musicians. He hascome to understand that you can’t keepplaying the same chords and riffs if youare ever going to better. He practices therule of 80/20. The rule of 80/20 simplysays ‘you practice 80% of your time onthings you don’t know or are not comfort-able with and spend the remaining 20% onthings you are good at. It is a difficult thingto do no doubt, however I believe it is theone great differentiating factor betweenplayers like him and unfortunately, me. Sofor those of you who pick up your axe to
sax, from beginner to expert, the best wayto get better is to take risks, get out of yourcomfort zone and practice 80/20.
THE SCENEThere is going to be a whole lot of excitingmusic happening here in Houston Countyover the next couple of weeks so withoutfurther delay, here it is. Plethra is rockin’Bouchez on Friday, July 8th then Friendson the Hill on July 29th. Live G8rz aredoing their thing Monday atShenanigan’s.

LIVE MUSIC ETIQUETTEIt has come to my attention that thereneeds to be something said about properetiquette when it comes to live entertain-ment. Most of this should be commonsense but we all know there’s a shortage onthat particular commodity lately so herewe go. The top 5 things you need to knowabout live entertainment. #5. If you aregoing to request a song from a band orentertainer, have the courtesy to drop abone in the bucket. After all, guitar stringsare not cheap. #4 Please don’t try to have aconversation with me when I am in themiddle of a guitar solo. My chops are badenough without the added distraction oftrying to intelligibly understand what youare talking about. #3. Freebird? Really?That joke has been beaten to death, buried,exhumed, rebeaten and just needs to go tothe light. Can we help it get to the light?Please? #2. Bands want, crave and needyour attention so take 6.5 seconds at theend of the song to applaud them. The num-ber one rule of etiquette that I have as an
entertainer is this…#1. Don’t get on thestage. I love the fact that you’re having funand you want to interact with the band butthere is a lot of sensitive gear that does notcome cheap so unless you want me tocome to your place of business and rustleall your papers up, keep your groove on,but keep it on the floor. On behalf of allbands and entertainers, we love you, wethank you for your support and we lookforward to seeing you at our next show.
WHAT A WEEK!I had an overdose of great music these past2 weeks starting with From Within.Steve and Creamer really know how to pepup a crowd with their great song selectionand crazy antics. I then had the opportuni-
ty to check out Tim Chandler and theTroublemakers from Bradenton, Fl. Tim,being from here originally, had no problembringing in a great enthusiastic crowd andthrew down some awesome tunes. I thencaught The Wall last Friday and wasblown away by the incredible musician-ship of Bruce, Al and the rest of the gang.Finally, I spent Saturday opening up forsome of my favorite cats in the area by thename of 2 Finger Jester. I say all this withthe hopes that it will encourage you, thereader, to get out and support local music.You can catch everything from old schoolR&R to Modern Dance music and ifyou’re not sure, email me [email protected] and I’lldirect you where to go.
SCENE NIGHTLIFE | david brockway explores Houston County’s nightlife
Everyone at the Cavern last Saturday enjoyed free 11th Hour koozies and lots of giveaways, not to mentionthe musical stylings of nightlife columnist David Brockway and rockers 2 Finger Jester!
First off, tell us a little about your music and yournew album? The new CD is called "The ShadowSound". It features guest appearances by some ofthe greats from Georgia and Macon in particular. Forexample, David Ragsdale from Kansas is on violin onmy track "Hate you". Randall Bramlett of Sea Levelfame is on two tracks. The album has some remas-tered songs of mine and some brand new songs likeRunnin', Holly Tree Hopeful and Truth is a MistyMountain. I think my fans will really enjoy this CD with
it's re-released material and new fanswill have the best chance ever to getin to what I am doing. The style ofthe CD is what I would call fusion,lots of rock and jazz and funk.
I would like to say that this cur-rent incarnation of the live band isbetter than ever, with Dr MarcusReddick and Miguel Castro ondrums and percussion, Byrd Wyatton bass, Brian Bogle on sax, HughHession on keys and back-upvocals and of course myself on gui-tar, vocals and crazy front man:-)
Who would we be surprised tolearn is in your music collection?Probably Jorge Michael-- I don'tcare what people say, that guy cansing and produces some of the bestpop music out there!
Have you recorded anyone lately, anyone new onthe scene? Everyday! Right now I am working onHugh's Cd and also the local group the Doves, theyare an amazing husband and wife duo and youshould check them out live.
