Thanks for the heads up John!
I will send her some flowers to put around the restaurant. And yes, we will hangout at the Golden Bough (Macon, Ga) with Miss Lilly and Mama Louise on the 18th. (www.goldenbough.com)A beautiful fine bookstore with archives from the War Between The States (My grandmother used to say "there was nothing 'civil' about that war")and many more collectibles and important information. I don't get to visit Macon enough. The Piedmont (foothills)was the shore of the ancient sea, and when walking in Macon, you can find shark teeth and sea shells 200 miles from the sea shore of today. My friend Carol Dixon and I used to walk for hours along the Ocmulgee River, and I found kitch middens of the Cherokee Indians. John "Bumba" Erbele showed me the monster factory in Juliette (you saw in the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"..it was the huge dark factory that sat across the train tracks. I found the echo chamber there where I recorded the last song on my new cd, Are We There Yet Mama?...that's the sound of that huge room...and a train came through just as I was recording. At that time, Juliette was a ghost town...all of the people who used to live there worked in the factory, which in the 70's was just abandoned...still in good shape. No graffiti, no vandalism. A beautiful place to swim. Still is.
Macon, Juliette, friends, history, music.
Sunday morning musings. |
