ast night, while this issue was running through the presses, Pilar Wilder and crew started practicing for the 7th annual Thriller Parade. Seven years ago, we called Anita Ponder, who helped have a couple of police on hand, and over 100 dancers ran out into the middle of Cherry Street at Third and recreated Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance. We didn’t ask permission, didn’t pay any fees, and we made quite the impression.

The next year, when we decided to do it again, we were required to pay everyone and their mother to do it. Off duty police officers make 25 bucks an hour, you have to pay to close the street, and for sound, and DJ’s and after that second year, we were about ready to call it quits. But Downtown Macon wouldn’t allow that. Once October 1 gets here, our phone rings off the hook with people looking to become zombies for a few minutes. So we’ve continued to do it, and with the help of Pilar and Hayiya Dance Theatre, it’s gotten bigger and bigger each year. Last year, over 2500 spectators were packed into Cherry Street Plaza in front of the Terminal Station to watch the event. We know it’s difficult to see, and we’ve searched the world over for bleachers. The City of

Macon will not allow us to use theirs, and renting them for a 3-hour event isn’t feasible for a small company like us. If you want a good seat, you’re just going to have to get there early, and if not, just being a part of the chaos is pretty exciting. If you’d like to be a dancer, practice is very important. We don’t want no scrubs. So be at Tattnall Square Park every Thursday at 7p.m., or the Centenary Common Room if it’s raining.

There, Ms. Pilar will teach you all you ever wanted to know about dancing like the King of Pop. I’ll be the one in the corner pressing play.

FINALLY, RIVER WALK EXPANSION...

The expansion of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail is finally about to break new ground. The Trail’s newest section will pass thru historic Riverside Cemetary and will eventually meander to Amerson Waterworks Park. A ground-breaking ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 11th at 10am to talk about the planned expansion at Riverside Cemetary’s historic Gatehouse.

The Trail is a public-private partnership managed by NewTown Macon in cooperation with the Macon-Bibb County Parks & Recreation department. The current trail length is 9 miles, with a proposed finished length of 22 miles.

CROSSROADS WRITERS CONFERENCE

ual

Crossroads grew out of a conversation between some friends who wanted to build on the literary and creative legacy of Macon. In the fall of 2008, with the help of several volunteers and great organizations, Chris Horne and Drs. Heather Braun, Kelly Whiddon and Monica Young-Zook launched the first Crossroads Writers Conference in downtown Macon. In a stroke of luck, they’d invited novelist Ad Hudler, who really helped establish the conference its fun, loose, communal vibe.

Over the past four years, the conference has been proud to bring hundreds of writers together to learn from the likes of Steve Almond, Rick Moody, Joshilyn Jackson, Jay Parini, Judith Ortiz-Cofer, Carlo Rotella, Gail Simone, Idris Goodwin, Tina McElroy-Ansa, Adam Davies, Lauretta Hannon, and several others. Not to mention all the talented writers from the metro Macon area who’ve given their time to making this conference happen.

While the conference hosts regional authors, wonderful workshops and readings, the organizers are also very involved in our community. In 2011, Crossroads received a Knight Neighborhood Challenge grant to replace broken sidewalks in the College Hill area with new sidewalks adorned with poetry, lyrics, history, quotes and other literature related to Macon. It’s called Sidewalk Stories and they’re still taking nominations for the side-

TASTE OF THE ARTS PROMISES TO BE A “RED CARPET AFFAIR” Would you be interested in winning a guitar signed by The Rolling Stones? What about a diamond ring? Prizes like these are only a small part of what makes the 2012 Taste of the Arts: A Red Carpet Affair an event like never before. Get your raffle tickets for these two fantastic prizes on the night of the event, or now, at Macon Arts Alliance.

For those unfamiliar, Taste of the Arts is an annual fundraiser benefiting the the programs of Macon Arts Alliance, which just happens to be where I work. You might recognize some of our efforts. We manage a gallery located on First Street underneath the Armory Ballroom. Through it we promote local artists and help them sell their work. We are a collaborative organization linking all the arts and cultural organizations in central Georgia through a council dubbed the “Arts Roundtable.” Maybe you’ve seen our new website, Ovations365.com, or been to one of our First Friday openings? These represent only a portion of the work Macon Arts Alliance does to promote the creative industries in Central Georgia, but as you can tell, we stay pretty busy.

Taste of the Arts: A Red Carpet Affair will be held at the beautiful and historic Terminal Station in downtown on October 26 at 7 p.m. This gala benefit will feature celebrity chefs from area arts and cultural organizations competing for Best Sweet, Best Savory and Best Decorated table. Celebrity judges from local media will be on hand to name the winners.

Of course, no fundraiser would be complete without a silent auction featuring original art, tickets to local and regional events, incredible prize packages and more. Expect a variety of delicious food and spirits as you move through the Terminal Station during this upscale “affair.”

While the excitement inside the Terminal Station will be

palpable, the fun really begins outside on the red carpet leading to the event. Dress in your best cocktail attire and prepare for the star treatment. You'll walk down the red carpet in style; have your photo taken by Steve Schroeder Photography; and you might even be the subject of a red carpet interview. Taste of the Arts promises to be an evening where all our guests receive a "taste" of stardom. You don’t want to miss this incredible evening.

Taste of the Arts is being held in October as part of National Arts and Humanities Month. Each year, Macon Arts Alliance honors those who have made significant contributions to arts and culture in our community. This year we will honor the four individuals selected for the 2012 Cultural Awards by having their names in lights at the event. Without the contributions of individuals like the 2012 Cultural Awards winners, many of the incredible arts and cultural organizations in central Georgia could not exist. They deserve our gratitude for all they have done to make our community one rich in arts, music, theater and more.

To purchase raffle tickets for the signed guitar or the diamond ring, stop by The Gallery at 486 First Street in downtown Macon. To purchase tickets to Taste of the Arts: A Red Carpet Affair, visit Ovations365.com or call (478) 301-5470.

R&B, Southern Rock, politics, aviation, baseball and Greek life – all part of Fifth Annual Spirits in October tours

It’s not every day you get to meet groundbreakers from such a varied background in one spot, much less all in just one hour, but thanks to Riverside Cemetery's 125th anniversary edition of Spirits in October, you can do just that the last two weekends this month, Oct. 18-20 and 25-28.

It’s been said this annual tour “puts a human face on history and touches the heart with stories yet untold.” This year is no exception, with seven new stories told by 10 never-before-seen spirits.

Two of my favorites on this year’s tour include “Pop” Walden and Mary Evans Glass, who were instrumental in shaping key elements of my life – one in the 1950s, rearing sons Phil and Alan, who would break down barriers to help shape Macon’s tourism future, the worldwide music industry and on a personal level my role as a partner in Rock Candy Tours; the other a hundred years earlier, founding the sisterhood I cherish and the very first Greek organization for women, Alpha Delta Pi, right here in Macon at Wesleyan College.

Ten spirits this year, each triple cast with local actors, represent “Incredible Firsts" to have come from our amazing city. They range from the poignant story performed by Louise Warren as the cemetery’s first resident, Tallulah Belle Woodall, an orphan who grew up and later worked at the Methodist Home for Children before dying of "the consumption" at 28, to Liz Fabian as Helen Sophia Shaw Harrold, the momentous first woman elected to Macon City Council the first year women got the vote; to 1920s era Macon Mayor Luther Williams. Portrayed by retired Judge William Self, the popular three-term mayor is featured in conversation with Harold Goodridge, portraying the spirit of Jackie Robinson, who not only broke the nation's baseball color barrier, but also the state's as the first African American to play professional baseball in Georgia - at Macon's Luther Williams Field in 1949.

Spirits is the only historical tour in central Georgia to offer a glimpse of the past complete with costumed actors standing graveside portraying historic figures, most of whom are buried at the125-year-old cemetery. And while I love a good scare as much as the next (yes, I will be attending NewTown’s Underworld Haunted House, also this month), Spirits in October is not a ghost tour. It’s about cool people and the roles they played in making Macon what it is today. It’s about history more than haints.

As College Hill Alliance Director of Communications and Outreach Nadia Osman, who has guided or acted in Spirits three of its four previous years, says, “It’s about entertainment as much as it is history. It’s fun!” This year, you can catch Nadia as one of the three actors portraying Mary Evans Glass. Incidentally, Pop Walden will be brought to life by two Spirits newcomers, veteran actors Chuck Clark and Bartow Irby.

Other “Incredible Firsts” represented this year include: Jessica Walden as Hazel Jane Raines, Georgia's First Lady of Flight; Stuart Spears and Jason Brumbelow in the roles of brother photographers Joseph B. and Cecil R. Coke, Sr., who photo-documented Ocmulgee’s archaeological dig at Georgia's first National Monument and opened Macon's first camera shop, and Matt Fabian as Dr. Charles C. Harrold, who pioneered local healthcare for the city’s poor.

"Spirits is like a time machine to a Macon I have never experienced, but feel such kinship with through the stories of residents past,” says Rock Candy Tours Co-founder Jessica Walden. “As Hazel Raines this year, I get to go back in time with my grandfather Pop who passed away before I was born. Spirits in October provides such an emotional connection to history – and to the heritage we all share."

Presented by the Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy, the one-hour guided walking tours of Macon's longest running active cemetery will begin at 6pm, Thursday-Saturday nights, departing from the cemetery's Gatehouse every 15 minutes until the last one at 9pm. The final day, Sunday, Oct. 28, you can catch the tour from 47pm (last tour at 6). Back this year, the tour's final stop will be a visit inside the beautiful Macon Public Mausoleum, where area alumnae of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority will serve

light refreshments among exhibits about this year’s spirits and cemetery history.

Cost is $20/person with the following discounts: $18/senior or military; $10/student 10 & up; free for children under 10. Group rates are available. Tickets are on sale now at www.riversidecemeteryconservancy.org or by calling Mercer Ticket Sales, 478-301-5470.

Spirits in October is the primary annual event offered by the 501(c)(3) non-profit Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy, whose mission is to preserve and promote the 19th century cemetery's importance in the fabric of Macon's history. Tour fees will be used, along with other fundraising initiatives, to fund research and the development of the cemetery's upcoming Master Plan which will serve as a road map to the active historic cemetery's long term preservation and contribution to the immediate area, contiguous neighborhoods and the entire community.

SEEING RED ALL IMAGES BY ADAM SMITH

BY BILL KNOWLES

BIBB COUNTY BOE STONEWALLING ON OPEN RECORDS, AGAIN What are in these emails that the district doesn’t want me to find?

You may remember about six months ago Stefan Ritter, an assistant to Attorney General Sam Olens, came to Macon to ‘educate’ the Bibb County School District in how they should respond to open records requests. As I recall during the meeting, which by the way was prompted by several complaints from myself, Darren Latch and many other concerned citizens as well as The Macon Telegraph, only a couple of the Bibb County School Board showed up, one of which was Board Member Tom Hudson, who told the audience that the reason for the session was “quite contrary to what may have been said in the media,” and that “it’s better to prevent than deal with (problems) after the fact.”

Now I can honestly say that the system HAD been doing much better in the communications and supplying of records that I have requested since then…That was up until July 18th, going on three months ago.

It was around that same time that our good friends at McGladrey came forward with allegations that Board Members Gary Bechtel and Susan Sipe had sent “inappropriate emails” that they had found during a forensic audit of the system. Upon hearing this all the red flags started popping up in my mind, so I requested all emails from Board Members Susan Middleton and Tom Hudson. (I got the Middleton emails within the time period given to me by the Board’s attorney Randy Howard, so I have no beef with that, and found several things that should have been found during the audit such as her pushing for the hiring of the current Principal of Alexander II, which is a big no-no. There’s not enough space in this column to dig into that saga, so stay tuned.) A funny thing has happened about the Tom Hudson emails, however.

Absolutely nothing….Nothing, coming after numerous emails and conversations with the aforementioned Board Attorney Randy Howard.

I want to say that I have a lot of respect for Mr. Howard. He’s a good guy. He’s also in a really bad position of having to defend an administration that is filled with corruption and incompetence. That being said, I received a call from Randy yesterday, again telling me that there is another delay in getting the emails of the slippery and elusive Tom Hudson. The delay now is “technical issues”.

Readers may now also recall that the technology department is now being headed by former City of Macon technology director Thomas Tourand. You remember Tourand don’t you?

He’s the one that his former boss Thomas Thomas painted so glowingly in a reprimand from 2009 in which Tourand was basically fired.

Thomas stated that Tourand had been “missing project deadlines, not ordering computers on time, lacking a plan for computer replacement in the next budget cycle." Is it any wonder that simple emails can’t be pulled up? Or is that all to the story? Me thinks not. While Tourand has already proven to be less than competent, I don’t think this is solely his fault, although I’m sure a good portion is. I do however feel that there is more to this than meets the eye.

One of the questions that I asked Mr. Howard yesterday was this: If ALL of the

LETTERS

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? SUBMIT YOUR RANTS, RAVES AND OPINIONS ONLINE AT 11THHOURONLINE.COM, OR EMAIL BRADEVANS11@GMAIL.COM

To the Editors: I just finished reading David Oedel’s letter dated 9-16-2012 in The Telegraph about discipline in the Bibb county school system. As the coroner of Bibb County, I consider myself to be a leader in the community. I do not get involved in name calling and controversy. I speak regularly to schools,churches and civic groups. I talk about respect,hard work, character and manners.

Yes sir, no sir and yes mam and no mam and pull your pants up.

If Mr Oedel had taken the time to ask anyone in the school system about me they would have told him that I go to the schools and speak to the students and wear a Bibb county jail uniform to let them know what happens when you make bad choices.

I am concerned about the school system and I will continue to do my part as a leader and public servant to set the right example for our children. If Mr. Oedell would like to come by my office, I have documentation where I have spoken to over 250 groups since I took office 2005. I am also a product of a single parent household and of the Bibb county public schools.

emails had been subject to the forensic audit as McGladrey and Superintendent Dallemand have stated, why aren’t these readily available?

I mean after all, taxpayers have spent over $400,000 for this audit. (I should have followed up with: “Hadn’t they already been scrutinized by the “crack” auditing of Debra Thompson, who overlooked several infractions

by Middleton as well as the formation of a National Association of Black Student Educators using school resources and personnel?, but I let him off the hook.”)

Here is the real question, though: What are in these emails that the District doesn’t want me to find? Or is Tom Hudson that powerful behind the scenes that he is squashing my request like a bug? Maybe they don’t want me to see that there is a possible connection between Hudson and the Smith Brothers, Terrell and Terrance...Terrell is the system’s Hearing Officer and Terrance being the District Coordinator of Parent Education at “ShangiLa”…errr…The Welcome Center. It seems that Terrance lives on the same street as Hudson and former interim Superintendent Sylvia McGee. Makes you wonder, huh?

The Hudson Open Records Request isn’t the only one that has gone haywire. I also have requested any and all information regarding a new Captain’s position that was created within the Campus Police. Here’s the funny thing about the position: Former Interim Chief Stephanie Prater had no idea the position was being created with the gentleman getting the position being none other than Title I Director Lori Rodgers husband? It gets better….Mrs. Rodgers was Board Member Wanda West’s Campaign Manager….As for my request for information…I was told nothing exists….Oh what a tangled web we weave…Shakespeare himself couldn’t come up with this kind of drama. The tragic ending in our play here in Bibb County is the ‘education’ supposedly given to our children by an administation who is only looking forward to their next assignment, who is being aided by several board members whose only concern is how they look and how they can get reelected.

To the Editors: The Georgia chapter of Make-A-Wish is recruiting wish-granting volunteers in Macon, GA, and the surrounding areas, to help local children with life-threatening illnesses have their wishes come true. There are currently over 600 children in Georgia waiting for their wish to be granted, and volunteers are needed to create, design, and implement these wish experiences alongside our staff members serving as their coaches. Make-A-Wish will be hosting a Volunteer Training in Macon, and individuals are encouraged to register as soon as possible. At the trainings, interested parties will learn about Make-AWish and how the organization grants wishes. Once trained, volunteers have the opportunity to make a special wish, such as a trip to Disney World, a shopping spree or an opportunity to become a police officer.When: Friday, October 26, from 6pm- 9pm OR Saturday, October 27, 2012 from 9am – 12pm Where: Macon Marriott City Center. Pre-registration is REQUIRED, email Volunteer Manager at dtrevett@ga-al.wish.org or 770.916.9474 x14.

CURIOUS AFFAIRS

ALICE IN WONDERLAND WOULD FEEL RIGHT AT HOME IN MACON POLITICS WHERE THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING “CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER.”

1

1th Hour readers will recall my column about Workforce Development and their refusal to reimburse the City the full costs borne by us for serving as their fiscal agent. Taxpayers are subsidizing that office to the tune of thousands of dollars, yet the City has absolutely no oversight or review over their finances even though we currently hold 100% of the liability for any funds they mis-spend or mis-report.

Council President James Timley recently authored legislation to end our fiscal ties with Workforce as they have repeatedly broken our written agreement; additionally, only the legislature can legally waive the city’s sovereign immunity yet our mutual agreement ensures that we assume full liability for the actions of the Workforce Investment Board. When Timley’s legislation came before the Community Resources Committee, Elaine Lucas made the motion to place it on the floor for discussion. The other four members – Chairman Lauren Benedict, Larry Schlesinger, Nancy White, and Rev. Charles Jones - sat mute. Without a second, the motion was not even open for discussion. We can only imagine what their reaction would have been if the organization in question had not been one highly favored by the administration. Evidently fiscal responsibility is a terribly relative term.

Now comes the appalling news that the City will be on the hook for even larger costs! I suppose if you can secure blank checks it’s difficult not to write them for ever-higher amounts. During the past year Workforce incorporated itself as a private non-profit organization (even though they still plan to leave the City with their legal liability; Bibb County has so far refused to assume one-half leaving the City with it all).

We’ve just been informed that all those incorporation and development costs are not allowable as reimbursable from federal and state grants and thus the City is going to be expected to pay the bill. Remember, too, that there was no agreement by the City before the costs were incurred, nor has there been any attempt to satisfy the City’s requirement that contracts of this sort be competitively bid and fully vetted by Council. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Santa Claus to whom you could forward the bills for your shopping spree, even if kindly old Saint Nick didn’t give you permission and, in fact, didn’t even know you were going shopping?

This precedent gives me a great idea.

I’m a big fan of Bragg Jam and the wonderful job their volunteers do every year in planning and implementing a successful and entertaining weekend. None of them are paid and all the net proceeds – more than $110,000 so far - go toward maintenance

and expansion of the Ocmulgee Greenway Trail. Each year the City’s Public Works Department and Police Department bill Bragg Jam for all their overtime costs for keeping peace and cleaning up the venues afterwards.

Why not just have the board pay only a fraction of that bill when it’s sent to them? If the invoice is for $30,000, have them offer to pay only $15,000 or so since it’s inconvenient to pay more. Then, let’s have Bragg Jam separately incorporate an organization tasked only with fundraising on their behalf. Don’t worry about the legal fees and staff time; send that unauthorized bill to the City for payment. Just think of all the extra money that would allow Bragg Jam to donate!

Here’s the problem with that scenario – the volunteer board at Bragg Jam would never be that arrogant. They are far too professional and they realize their actions have consequences; you won’t find the Bragg Jam board expecting the City to bail them out of any financial morass. If only the board and staff of Workforce were as professional and competent.

It’s easy to see that elections are approaching. All the sudden grand-standing and political posturing are sure signs of budding candidacies. If you wonder whether your Councilmember or County Commissioner plans to run for next year’s newly-consolidated government, try watching for increased name mentions in the

Telegraph and sudden flurries of legislation from those who have rarely bothered since the last election.

There’s credible talk of a popular Republican former elected official who might enter the Mayor’s race – as a Democrat. Obviously that would draw votes away from a Reichert candidacy, but one negative possibility might be in helping to enable a Jack Ellis victory as a result. Most people agree a run-off will be necessary with so many candidates, so the challenge will be in ensuring a second voter turn-out and unifying the supporters of those candidates who are eliminated in the first round.

The death of Frank Amerson, one of the giants of local development, opens up his powerful position as Chairman of the Macon Water Authority. I’ve already heard rumors of possible entry into that race by Cliffard Whitby, Chairman of the MaconBibb Industrial Authority, and Herbert Dennard, owner of the Georgia Informer as well as a former elected member of the MWA. Meanwhile there is talk of a game of musical chairs as some elected officials look at changing positions to a different (and perhaps more electable) post. So much depends on what others do that it all resembles nothing so much as an entertaining game of dominoes.

THE

SCENE

N LISTE UP

If you were fortunate enough to get tickets to the Gov’t Mule show at the Cox Capitol Theatre on October 19th, congrats!

We’re excited to attend this sold-out event with you, live music supporters.

Station. He said that he based all the rhythms in his music on the sounds of the trains that came by his window. Billy Joe said, “Sometimes folks think there is something in the water, but in Macon, maybe it was something on those trains.” Wow, that’s great.

A lot of that is the product of the great black gospel music that came out of the churches there as well.

WARREN HAYNES We all know who Warren Haynes is around these parts. The vocalist and songwriter best known for his work as longtime guitarist with The Allman Brothers Band and as founding member of the jam band Gov't Mule. This guy has done it all, early in his career he was a guitarist for David Allan Coe and The Dickey Betts Band. Haynes also is known for his associations with the remaining members of The Grateful Dead, including touring with Phil Lesh and Friends and The Dead. How does a guitarist accomplish any more than Haynes? Really, they just don’t. Brad Evans caught up with Warren at his home and got to ask some fan questions and some of his own.

We had a few fans send questions in, and personally I hate this question, but I don’t know the answer to it so I’m going to ask it. Tell me about the first time you picked up a guitar.

WARREN: First time I picked up a guitar. I was 11 years old, my oldest brother had an acoustic guitar, and I ended up playing it more than he did. And when I was 12 my dad bought me my own. I grew up in a musical family in the way that everybody loved music. My dad had a beautiful voice and loved to sing, so there was always music playing in our house.

Govt Mule came there together. I was there for the first time in 1980 and the first thing I did was visit Duane and Barry’s graves. It’s hard to say what makes certain regions produce great music, but Georgia in general, when you look at Ray Charles being from Albany, and James Brown being from Augusta, you are talking about the greatest singers of all times being from that area. It’s really quite amazing. I don’t know what I was expecting when I first came to Macon. It’s just a small town like any other small town, but there is a certain vibe coming from that area, and it has to come from that music.

Tell me what you think of Macon Georgia. Obviously, you have some strong connections here. Tell me about the first time you remember coming here. WARREN: I’m not sure what it is about certain cities that make so many amazing artists and musicians. Macon is one of those cities. I’m such a huge fan of Little Richard and Otis Redding, and obviously, the Allman Brothers. The history is so strong, musically speaking. The first time I came there, Govt.

Mule came and had our picture taken in front of what used to be Ms. Ann’s Tic Toc, the club that Little Richard used to play at. We had our picture taken walking across Otis Redding Memorial Bridge. But that wasn’t the first time I came there I guess, that was the first time

You and I are both in a video that the Convention and Visitors Center used to introduce Macon to people. I remember doing that.

OCTOBER 4 - 19, 2012

“...It’s hard to say what makes certain regions produce great music, but Georgia in general, when you look at Ray Charles being from Albany, and James Brown being from Augusta, you are talking about the greatest singers of all time being from that area. It’s really quite amazing. I don’t know what I was expecting when I first came to Macon.

It’s just a small town like any other small town, but there is a certain vibe coming from that area, and it has to come from that music.”

Well, you and I are talking back to back about how so many great artists came from here. And I’m telling a story about Little Richard. I doubt you’ve ever saw the video. I don’t believe I have, but I’d love to hear it.

I was interviewing Billy Joe Shaver one time, and he’d just met little Richard and asked him about Macon.

Little Richard told him that he used to wash dishes at the Greyhound Bus

Another fan question from Adam Macintyre….You’ve continued to grow as a songwriter and a guitarist throughout your career.

What do you find yourself pushing for, and what roots to you hold close to these days?

As a songwriter, I’ve tried to explore territory that I’ve never explored before.

This is something that gets harder and harder. Whether it’s from a chordal standpoint, or from a melody standpoint, or a lyrical standpoint, you get to places where you have already touched on that and want to go somewhere else. So that challenge is always there. As far as roots, when I listen to music, more often than not I’m listening to older music. Soul, Folk Jazz, Rock. It’s just hard to compete with the greatest music of all time. When I get saturated listening to the music of today, I always go back to Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Coltrane and Miles Davis, and stuff that is always, to me, timeless. But that’s inspiration. You have to study on what makes that timeless. What about it makes us want to hear it all these years later? To me, really, it’s the honesty, the direct path between the artist and the listener. There is no pretention; it’s just real music. That’s what I strive to make. Real Music.

Does that kind of honesty exist in today’s popular music?

In the mainstream? Music today has divided itself between the MTV and American Idol side and the more independent people having to work harder and make it on their own side. That’s good and bad. On the mainstream side, it’s harder to have that kind of honesty. Even when someone starts out that way, the forces that be will try and push it in a popular direction. One of my biggest complaints, about society in general today, especially on the arts and music side, is that you take something great, that appeals to x amount of people, and the folks behind it want to change it so it appeals to more people. By changing it, it appeals less to the original people that loved it. The artistic part of it kind of goes out the window.

You’ve played with so many great bands over the years. Anyone you would love to work with that you haven’t had the chance to.

I’m really fortunate that on this huge list of people that I grew up listening to, I’ve pretty much been able to work with all of them in some capacity.

Does it seem surreal to you. Obviously you didn’t just wake up as one of the greatest guitar players in the world. I know it was a long road that took a lot of work. But does it ever feel like it’s just not real when you are standing on stage with someone you grew up idolizing?

Absolutely it does. I feel like Forest Gump sometimes. How the hell did I end up here, you know. Including the first time I played with the Allman Brothers, which was so surreal I can’t explain it. But having played with so many people that I’ve grown up listening to, it’s not as weird to me as it was 20 years ago, but it’s still exciting. I still pinch myself every now and then and think, “Is this really happening, or am I making this up?”

I know there are few Red Dog stories that can be told out loud.

But his stepson sent in a question, and I figured that if you had one you’d like to share, he’d appreciate it.

Hell, I have a whole book of Red Dog stories. Unfortunately, I can’t tell any of them. He’s one of the funniest people I have ever been around and one of the most unique people, and with the company I’ve kept that’s saying a lot. Most of the stories I’d like to tell, I probably shouldn’t, so let’s just say I loved the man, and I cherished his friendship.

FAR-OUT HALLOWEEN TREATS WWW.ETSY.COM/VINTAGECONFECTIONS

Since it’s getting close to Halloween I had to include some masks that I hope to see everywhere, come the end of October. Though their price tag $(350)may be a bit prohibitive, these are some of the coolest, funniest, and creepiest masks I have ever laid a good eye on. Made by a company called Hyperflesh masks, and hand done by artist Landon Mier, the baby head masks come in different expressions, disgusted, happy and crying, a person of any size can be the hit of the party with this thing. www.hyperflesh.com. It won’t lead you to www.fleshlight .com, which is a whole nother level of creepy.

GHOST BUSTER’S ILLUSTRATIONS NERDAPPROVED.COM

Speaking of spooky stuff, Australian illustrator DrFaustusAU created a wonderful collection of Steampunk themed Ghost Busters Illustrations.

Any nerd, ghostbuster fan or not would love them and when I came across them researching this column for Halloween, I thought it would be foolish not to include them. I hope our resident favorite Ghost Buster expert Chace Ambrose would agree.

Ever wondered what Neptune tastes like? Vintage Confections on Etsy has the answer. It comes in your choice of either strawberry or cotton candy. A complete set of solar system lollipops costs $17.50. You get the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Yea for including Pluto! Sorry, Moon, you don't rate high enough to get your own sucker. Each candy-on-a-stick is made with a clear face, a heavenly body inside, black back, and edible silver glitter simulating stars. Yum, stars.

MY FAVOR ITETHI NGS

is a transplant from Texas. He graduated from Mount deSales, is very single, moonlights as a writer for the 11th Hour and an editor of theblueindian.com. He’s an active supporter of downtown Macon, and has been involved with music management for 6 years. He enjoys whiskey, burgers, guitars, slacks, guns, stouts, women with long legs, avacados, Bruce Springsteen, and reading. And now look at him. His picture is in the paper. And these are a few of his favorite things...

Antique Turquoise Armchair - Saw this sitting outside a house with a few other things on Houston Avenue and pulled my car over and asked the guy how much he was selling it for. I wound up getting it for $15!

Oil Paintings - Ben Dunn & Carl Phillips are two artists from Macon that I've gotten to know over the years. Both incredibly nice people and very different styles of work.

Epiphone Masterbuilt - If you squint hard, you can see Kid Rock's signature. Yes, that Kid Rock, the Waffle House fight-starting redneck who made a decent song from the 70's awful. It's a long story.. .35 Remington Shell - Last year, I went deer hunting for the first time. I was in Wilkinson County at a club with my brother and got the kill right around dusk. I used a Marlin 336, one of his guns. Can't wait till season starts this year.

8" J.A. Henkels Santuko - I bought this knife as a Christmas present for myself maybe ten years ago and I love it. A sharp knife is the handiest tool you can have in the kitchen.

"Butterfly Parrot" - My brother Jordan gave this to me when he returned from working in Africa for a year.

It's made completely out of wings from butterflies that kids in the villages catch.

CD Stand - My brother Andy has been making furniture for years and one day decided to try my hand at it.

This was the first piece that I made without his help.

WHERE TO GO, WHAT TO DO.... DOVETAIL GRAND OPENING WEEKEND, “THE MERCHANT OF VENICE,” GEORGIA NATIONAL FAIR, LUKE BRYAN FARM TOUR AND SO MUCH MORE!

r u o H y Happ 2-4-1 wells 4-8PM!

F

all is upon us, finally. I was on the way home from Cincinnati last weekend and Kentucky and Tennessee are already turning shades of orange and yellow, so it shouldn’t be to long before the trees here start to turn and everyone begins to freak out about “how cold it is”. Just in time for the season, Chad Evans and Wes Griffith of the Rookery are opening their new eatery, Dovetail, located directly above their current restaurant on Cherry St. Without giving too much away, the newest addition to the short list of finedining establishments in Macon features a classic, but rustic interior unlike anything I’ve seen in town, an accommodatingly large bar area, and a menu that’s going to surely claim a few regulars from Marco, Natalia’s and the like.

They’re currently taking reservations for the opening weekend starting Thursday, October 25th but Tim’s said they’re filling up fast so call them or stop by and get one while you can.

It’s the closing weekend for the Mercer University student-produced version of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice; so if you’re interested, stop by Willingham Hall’s Back Door Theatre.

Tickets are $5.00 for students, $7.00 for the general public, or one pound of flesh for groups of five or more.

One of the most sensational blues/soul groups currently touring will be making a rare stop at the Cox Capitol Theatre this weekend (October 5th) for a show you should not miss.

The Lee Boys play a style of music most commonly known as “Sacred Steel”, that’s part gospel, part funk, and part searing blues. More notably, the Chicago Sun-Times has compared the band to Jimi Hendrix, saying: “The Lee Boys, whose Church of God-inspired sacred steel music may be what Jimi Hendrix had in mind with his great plan for ‘electric sky church music’”.

Tickets are available at coxcapitoltheatre.com or at the box office during their business hours. On a side note, if you’ve been to Wanee Music Festival over the past few years, there’s a very good chance you seen pedal steel-player Roosevelt making his rounds from stage to stage to sit in with everyone from Trey Anastasio to MMW.

SAVE THE DATE

If you’re in the mood for some c o u n t r y music, funnel cakes, and fair rides, the Georgia National Fair opens the first weekend in October with their first headlining concert taking place on Saturday the 6th in the arena on-site in Perry. Pop country stars K e l l i e Jr. League's 'Rock n Read' family festival is scheduled for Saturday, October Pickler and 20th at the beautiful Amerson Water Works complex off of Riverside Drive.

COUNTRY SUPERSTAR LUKE BRYAN IS BACK AT CENTRAL CITY PARK - OCTOBER 13TH Featuring: Rhett Akins and Dallas Davidson, Chancie Neal, and Cole Swindell A few years back, I was working with my oldest brother at his contracting company. I was tired of the other jobs I had held, I wanted to do something with my hands, and I figured this was as close to working in the "family business" as I was going to get. We spent a lot of time driving between jobs in his truck and because of that, we were listening to 99.1 at least a few hours every day. I quickly developed my somewhat ironic love affair with country music and now my radio doesn't leave WDEN when I'm in my car (I have an older car, no CD player). I'm a fan of all kinds of country, from the classics of Williams Sr. and Waylon Jennings, to that awkwardly awesome period in the

80's and 90's, to even the full blown auto-tuned, how-can-you-callthis-country country. I love a good pop song and that's just about all country music is these days.

That's why I was thrilled when I was asked to cover the upcoming Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2012 concert that's taking place on the mid-way in Central City Park on October 13th. Last year, the event sold-out at Luther Williams Stadium and it's set to be bigger and better this time around. The idea for the “Farm Tour” concerts came from Bryan as a way to give back to local farming communities by celebrating and lifting up the American Farmer and offering a fun escape with the outdoor shows. Proceeds from the concerts will go to a scholarship for a student from a farming family attending a local college. Bryan is actually one of only three country musicians to have three consecutive, Platinum-selling tracks on an album, joined only by Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean. I'll be there bright and early, tail-gating and practicing my country slang and I hope you'll stop by. Tickets available online www.lukebryan.com, $30 general admission. Chairs and blankets allowed. No backpacks or coolers. Tailgating starts at 2pm, gates opens at 5pm and show will start at 7pm. Macon is the last stop on the Tour, and this show is sure to sell out!

The Lee Boys @ Capitol Theatre

FRIDAY, 10/5 Will Stevens @ Bearfoot Tavern First Friday will feature this Macon Boy playing songs you’ll love to sing along to on the patio of Bearfoot Tavern. Get their early if you want a seat outside.

The Lee Boys @ Capitol Theatre The Lee Boys are one of America’s finest African-American sacred steel ensembles.

This family group consists of three brothers, Alvin Lee (guitar), Derrick Lee and Keith Lee (vocals) along with their three nephews, Roosevelt Collier (pedal steel guitar), Alvin Cordy Jr. (7-string bass) and Earl Walker (drums). When The Lee Boys bring their joyous spiritual sound to the stage, audiences instantly recognize that this is not “sitting and listening” music: dancing, shouting out, and having fun are considered essential parts of their tradition. Their unique sound has attracted musical artists such as Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule, Derek Trucks Band w/ Susan Tedeschi, The North Mississippi Allstars, – all of whom have played with the Lee Boys and/or invited them to tour with them.

Southern Persuasion @ Hud’s This Country and Classic Rock band does a little bit of everything. From originals to cover songs, Southern Persuasion is a great band to listen to, and an even better band to get up and dance to. If you haven’t been to Huds on Gray hwy, check it out. It’s got a great Music Room with a big stage and great sound. Get out and see these boys.

DJ Shawty Slim @ Roasted

Delfonik ft. Shawty Slim @ Roasted Shawty Slim has been enoying the world of planes, trains and automobiles while he backs up hip hop artist B.O.B on his Strange Cloud world tour. Everytime he comes home though, and this is why we love him, he give Macon their own reason to be proud as he mixes up hip hop and dance music at the hippest coffee shop in town, ROASTED. Delfonik is no slacker either. Get out and see this show.

SATURDAY, 10/6 Hott with Harry Leggs @ AP’s Hott With Harry Leggs is a true Southern Rock ‘n Roll band playing high energy music. They do cover tunes by The Allman Brothers Band, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Skynrd, Pink Floyd, Delbert McClinton, etc. and also throw in some original tunes. Also playing Billy’s Clubhouse on Thursday, 10/11.

Stereomonster @ The Bird Stereomonster was formed after some nuclear testing on an island in the Pacific during the 80's. Due to massive amounts of radiation an abandoned stereo transformed and divided into 4 living organ-

Modern Skirts @ The Bird isms. Scientists would later call these organisms "G Star" "Snare Jordan" "B E Z" and "ZaYo." Dumbest Band bio ever.

But these fellows play Radiohead, The Killers, Rage Against the Machine, Outkast, Jay-Z and more.

THURSDAY, 10/11 Jordan Rager @ Wild Wing Cafe This Fellow was on Team Blake during Season Two of the Voice, so excpect a big impact from this country boy. HE plays oriinals and covers and will blow you away.

FRIDAY, 10/12 Modern Skirts @ The Bird Athens, GA's Modern Skirts crept onto the scene in 2005 with its debut record, 'Catalogue of Generous Men'. The record received some good reviews, finding itself at #11 on Paste Magazines' Records of 2005, and several unwanted comparisons (mostly to Ben Folds {don't use lots of piano on your band's next record}). With a new sound, and a new record, go see these talented guys, they put on a great show and their music is catchy & fun.

I

n the months before their deaths, relatives say Mildred and Jewel Cleveland had struggled living in the same house with Mildred's grown son, Jason Howard. Jobless and socially withdrawn, Howard was a disturbed man who had been committed to a mental institution for schizophrenia following his arrest for robbing a bank. Although his mother thought that Howard could be rehabilitated and insisted that he live with them, relatives say her husband, Jewel, wasn't so sure. Police think that after killing and burying the Clevelands, Jason Howard continued to live in the house. He paid bills, cared for the family pets, and even took a trip to the family's vacation home. With the aid of cadaver dogs, Liberty County police found the bodies of Jewel and Mildred Cleveland JASON HOWARD wrapped in tarps and buried in a barn on June 15, 2004. An autopsy later conArrested 4/13/2009 4 Cts Felony Murder firmed that both had been shot in the head and that Mildred had been beaten first. In his own words from a November 1994 note, Howard explained: Let it be known that I, Jason M. Howard, can be extremely paranoid, therefore as a fugitive I will not only be carrying firearms but explosives as well...I'm not dangerous until I am crossed or cornered, so stay away. Keep away and don't blame me for a dead tactical team. Only yourselves to blame.

For the next several years, Howard would live in the woods in Macon Georgia, in a camp he constructed out of camouflage tarps and tents and everything else he could find. He was featured on America’s Most Wanted during those years, though he would elude arrest until 2009, when Macon Police found him breaking into a rental car. Some months later, a friend of the 11th Hour, and a cross country runner, came across Howard’s camp in the woods. In it three journals were found. What follows is a page of one of these journals, the first in a series of pages that look inside the head of a suspected killer.
