8 Historic Bungalows - One Impressive Tour Tickets are now available for Historic Vineville’s much-anticipated Christmas Tour of Homes to take place Dec. 2-3. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the tour. Advance tickets are available at Creter’s on Ingleside Ave.; Travis Jean’s on Cherry St.; Karats and Keepsakes on Forsyth St.; or online at www. vineville.org.

To shuttle guests to the neighborhood homes with ease, a complementary trolley will be continuously running throughout the tour route.

The Historic Vineville neighborhood was one of Macon’s first suburbs and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. This year’s tour showcases a rare look into the delightful bungalows, cottages and Victorian style homes that make up this charming neighborhood.

As an added bonus for tour participants, we’ve included a tour of the popular Big House and Allman Brothers Band Museum which is located within the neighborhood. The neighborhood’s semi-annual tour is an exceptional opportunity for guests to go inside these private homes lavishly decorated with style and care for the holidays.

This year, The Back Burner Restaurant, located in nearby Ingleside Village, will have unique prix fixe (multicourse, fixed price) menu for lunch and dinner for those participating in the tour. Some of the scrumptious prix fix menu selections include lobster bisque, seafood trio almondine, crab cakes, grilled chicken caprese and chocolate truffle torte. They will also be offering specialty cocktails such as cranberry mimosas or pomegranate Moscow mules. This specialty menu is available on Saturday only. Reservations highly recommended as tables book quickly.

Contributors Marla Horton has lived in Macon, Georgia her entire life, first by birth, but now by choice.

She graduated from Middle Georgia State University with a BA in English and now spends her free time exploring her favorite city. In addition to words, she also consumes generous amounts of both red wine and red meat. If she is not reading/writing, drinking Cabernet Sauvignon, or eating burgers with bleu cheese, she is probably asleep.

Renee Corwine spent 13 years as a newspaper editor before switching this summer to a full time career in freelance writing and editing. She and her husband, Jake, live in Macon with three fur babies: Abbey, Ella and Whiskers. In addition to writing, Renee is a personal trainer and teaches classes at Pure Barre Macon (that’s exercise, not booze). A full Ironman finisher, she still dabbles in triathlon, but would rather spend her time taking selfies in foreign countries, drinking whiskey and torturing others through exercise. Find her on Inta @ reneecorwine.

With more than 20 years of journalism and publishing experience, Stacey Norwood earned her chops as an investigative reporter and features writer for daily and weekly community newspapers in Tuscaloosa, Bibb County (AL), and Clanton, AL before moving to a longish stint in TV news as a crime and courts reporter in Birmingham. Passionate about twangy prose and a devotee of Southern culture, Stacey deepened her wordsmithing skills serving as an editor and contributing writer for such magazines as Victoria, Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade, Taste of the South and Relish. Her hobbies include writing a Macon-centric blog, trolling the Internet for truly revolting vintage recipes, collecting real (not department store) art, and cooking. In her spare time, Stacey is the proud Mother of Doggos (it is known).

Much to her disappointment, however, her mutts, Miss Oda Mae Brown and Margaret Thatcher, have yet to breathe actual fire no matter how many times she yells “dracarys” at them.

Traci Burns was born and raised in Macon (Bloomfield represent!); she currently lives in Warner Robins with her husband and two kids. She has an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Georgia College, where she also taught English and creative writing for some years before settling down to be a full time neurotic insomniac freelancer/stay at home parent. She’s into rap, disability rights advocacy, comics, and cuddling.

STOREFRONT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT | BY TRACI BURNS

SMALL BUSINESS EVERYDAY! A SHOPPER’S GUIDE TO KEEPING IT LOCAL

Summer vacation feels like it could’ve been last week, and Halloween was just yesterday, right? There’s no way it’s Thanksgiving already. At least, that’s how it feels, and yet here we are, heading full-force into the holiday season at breakneck speed. Might as well embrace the chaos – get those Christmas sweaters ready, throw some lights and tinsel festively around the house, stock your bar, and make your shopping list.

We all know about Black Friday – the day after Thanksgiving, when shoppers rush to big-box stores amidst crowds and chaos to get the best deals on big ticket items, but over the past few years its counterpoint Small Business Saturday has been on the rise; falling on November 25 this year, Small Business Saturday is an incentive launched to encourage shopping at local independent businesses.

Shopping small is important in so many big ways: it helps to create jobs here in our own community - and more money goes to support the local economy in a larger sense, since businesses pay sales tax to the city and county where they’re located. It helps keep our community diverse, interesting, and unique – a city filled with nothing but cookie-cutter chain stores and restaurants would be a bleak, bland prospect indeed. Also, small businesses are known for better, more personalized customer service. There’s something so great about building a solid rapport with a local business owner - they’re experts in whatever they’re selling, be it books or toys

or beauty products, and they’re genuinely interested in getting to know the needs of their customers. And it just feels cool to walk into a store and have someone greet you by name and take the time to tell you about something new they think you’d be into.

Small Business Saturday has skyrocketed in popularity since its inception in 2010, which is wonderful, but small businesses need community support every day to stay afloat. So by all means, head out to your favorite independently owned spot on Nov. 25 to get a head start on that Christmas list. Stop for lunch somewhere locally owned – and maybe grab a few beers or a cup of coffee at another local spot later in the day. But do yourself a favor and implement small businesses into your shopping routine as often as you can; by doing so, you’ll be supporting the immense hard work and dedication of someone right here in your own community.

I’ve highlighted some of middle Georgia’s best and brightest small businesses in the guide below, but it is by no means an exhaustive list – I suggest using this list as a jumping-off point and doing some exploring on your own. Happy shopping!

DOWNTOWN Travis Jean Emporium offers a fun, eclectic, unique shopping experience – here you’ll find adorable Georgia-shaped gift baskets filled with Georgia Grown items,

Macon-made Southern Bon Vivant candles, original artwork by local artists like Priscilla Esser, and so much more. They’re also the downtown source for Macon Bacon merchandise, which would be a great gift for anyone on your list. Be sure to check out their newest Georgia-made product: handmade adorable collars, leashes, bows, and ties for your four legged friends, from Snellville’s A Hot Dog on a Leash.

Boutique clothing at affordable prices for women of all shapes and sizes? Yes please! Daphne’s 525 is a new addition to downtown, and their wonderful selection of clothes and accessories, combined with fantastic customer service, is earning them some very good word of mouth. Children’s clothing is also available here – be sure to check out their adorable tutu selection - and they also offer monogramming services at competitive prices.

A new addition to downtown, Falling Star Records, located right next door to the Cox Capitol Theater, is a great destination for gifts for the vinyl lover, or for the equipment you’d need in order to turn someone into a vinyl lover – and you can check out Priscilla Esser’s musician series of paintings on display while you’re at it. And Fresh Produce Records, a longtime downtown staple, is full of wonderful weirdo goodies – go explore and see for yourself, and while you’re in there, be sure to register to win a record player courtesy of 41 NBC’s 12 Days of Giving contest.

Ex-Allman Brothers Band tour manager, talented photographer, and lifetime music lover Kirk West is one of Macon’s treasures. His music photography, which spans over 40 years, captures an impressive lineup of legends with honesty, awe, and obvious affection, and you can find lots of it on display at Gallery West, along with copies of his two coffee table books The Blues in Black and White and Les Brers: Kirk West’s Photographic Journey with the Brothers. The gallery will have a whole month of musical events beginning in December, plus discounts on books and prints – come by, chat with Kirk and his lovely wife Kirsten, and get a signed piece of musical history that’ll thrill the rock ‘n rollers on your list.

The Golden Bough is a bookstore that feels the way a bookstore is supposed to feel – it smells like books in there in a way that’ll weaken the knees of any true book lover. Plus, there are cats! The stock is mostly used (and reasonably priced) books, and owner Eric Wakefield makes sure to keep a steady influx of inventory coming in; he updates the store’s social media with photos of new arrivals often. This is a great spot to find regional specialties, talk about writing with a knowledgeable dude, and special-order any new titles you might need for the holidays.

INGLESIDE VILLAGE Sometimes it’s hard to make time for good self-care all on your own – that’s why gift certificates for massage therapy make amazing gifts. Kay-Lynn Massage & Bodywork Studio is owned by two sisters who have true passion for what they do, and it shows. At Kay-Lynn, all services are

priced by time; clients come in and have a relaxing foot soak while discussing specific massage needs with the therapist, so each session is personally customized. And the studio offers handmade, organic body products, as well as a range of cute, artsy little zipper pouches that’d make a great gift with a gift certificate tucked inside.

Christmas wouldn’t be nearly as fun without toys, and if you want to find something really special for the kids on your list, William’s Fun Smart Toys is the place to go. Owner Florence Allen (aka The Toy Lady) has been in the toy business for years, and she knows her stuff – the store is stocked with classic favorites like the PlasmaCar and Tegu magnetic wooden blocks, and an ever evolving array of new, innovative playthings. You won’t find cooler stocking stuffers anywhere else, either.

A Macon institution since 1917, Karsten Denson is an old-school hardware store that seemingly has a little bit of everything- camping gear, gardening supplies, baking pans, bird feeders… the list goes on. They’ve also got a reputation for some of the best customer service in the game.

Head into specialty grocer Village Marketplace for gift baskets full of Georgia Grown goodies – they have a stock of premade baskets, or you can pick what you want and have them fix it up especially for you. They’ve got Wisham pepper jellies, Southern Soul Barbeque sauce, Phickles pickles, Back to the Basics 101 baking mixes, and so much more – while you’re there, you can pick up some snacks for that holiday party and even grab stuff to make a healthy dinner while you’re at it.

The Village’s newest addition, The Society Garden, has gift cards available as well, so parents of parents.... you know what to tuck inside that grown-up stocking...

the gift of craft beer and cool atmosphere! Or sign-up a loved one for The Garden’s monthly wine club!

OTHER COOL STUFF Give the gift of musical knowledge with a tour from Rock Candy Tours – these walking tours explore Macon’s rich, varied musical background and help bring it to life with insider information and sincere enthusiasm.

Even if you’re a lifetime Maconite, you’ll come away having learned something new and cool. And if you pick up a Rock Candy Tours t-shirt (available at Travis Jean or the Downtown Welcome Center), you get a discount on the price of a tour.

Everybody’s always fussing about getting themselves and their kids outside more. Put your money where your mouth is and pick up a bike from Bike Tech this holiday season. They sell new and used bikes and accessories, and their shop is staffed with friendly experts who’d love to help you choose what’s best for the people on your list.

Here’s a suggestion for a great way to find a truly unique gift and support our local museums at the same time – spend some time and money in their gift shops!

The Big House – Allman Brothers Band Museum, The Hay House, The Tubman Museum, The Cannonball House, The Museum of Arts & Sciences, The Museum of Aviation, Ocmulgee National Monument, and The Georgia Sports Hall of Fame all have gift shops featuring art, jewelry, toys, books, housewares, and more – all distinctive, and all carefully curated to reflect the little slice of middle Georgia their museums represent.

Mercer has given me a sure foundation and I feel so secure there.

I Am A Mercerian.

Sarena Watkins Fuller, Adult Undergraduate Student If anyone knows a thing or two about the power of second chances, it’s Sarena Watkins Fuller. Embarking on her sophomore year at Mercer University through its undergraduate degree program for adult learners, the Communication major says she is finally getting the opportunity to pursue what had, at one point, seemed like long-lost educational goals.

But then again, life experience has already taught Sarena that nothing is impossible, and when it comes to chasing your dreams, there’s no time like the present. As a two-year survivor of stage III breast cancer, every day is precious.

“I got my diagnosis on May 19, 2014,” Sarena says, adding that when she was rushed into treatment, she was determined to come out the other side. And she did. “I licked it in 10 months.”

With “everything to live for,” and willing to embrace “whatever the universe has assigned me to do,” Sarena, a licensed minister for more than 20 years, wasn’t necessarily thinking of obtaining a college degree.

But love and basketball had other ideas for her.

“My husband and I were looking for something to do for free and he happened to come across free Mercer basketball tickets on Facebook.

He asked if I would be interested in going,” she recalls. “I was, like, ‘yeah! – I just survived breast cancer and I'm living life again.’ I'd never been to a collegiate basketball game in my life. We went for a date night, and when I walked into the gymnasium, into that basketball arena, I literally felt like a fish in water. I was getting a new source of oxygen and I didn't know why or where it was coming from, but that place hyped

my soul up – my spirit just came alive.”

Then serendipity stepped in.

“At two o'clock that morning, we were still awake talking about different things and one word led to another, one conversation led to another, and I said you know what? I got it. I think I know what it is.

I'm going to enroll at Mercer University.”

Much to her surprise, she says, Sarena received an immediate response from the Mercer Admissions Office to help her navigate the application process.

“I was shocked. I wasn't sure if I was actually on the right path. I was what I called ‘turning doorknobs’ to see why this was touching my soul like it was.” When that door opened, she walked through it without a backward glance.

“They walked me through the process,” she says – from entrance exams to opening new pathways to pursuing a Communication degree.

“I didn't realize Mercer even had a working adult program. I was excited to learn about that. It works with your schedule. It's so versatile.”

Today, with the help and guidance of Mercer advisors and faculty members, Sarena is immersed in the college experience and proud to call herself a Mercer Bear.

“I’m tearful-eye proud. Mercer is prestigious – Mercer is a pulse in this city.” she says. “It's been life-changing, life-coaching, life-enhancing.

I found my group, I found my place … Mercer is going to be a vehicle for where I want to go.”

HAPPENINGS, LOCALS & REGIONAL INSIGHTS

The Maconites compiled by Susannah Maddox | Photographer Maryann Bates

Meet

Ashley, Kamauri, and Jamarion

“‘Kamauri’ means ‘deliverance’ in Swahili, and ‘Jamarion’ means strong-willed man.

I am originally from Philadelphia. I moved down here when I was seven, a military child. We used to live in North Macon, Lake Wildwood, to be exact. And we moved to West Macon after my parents’ divorce. And, I went to a very diverse school, Westside. I loved the diversity. Every race. Everyone was there. We moved to a different side of Macon; I went to a different school, Southwest, and it was very segregated.

I love that Macon is very expressive, very hipster, as far as the younger community. The younger community is more welcoming than the older. But, you see a lot of different people. Everybody seems to merge together. Everybody has something in common if we strip away the outside appearance. I feel, if everybody can just coincide with each other, blend…

The children, they’re coming up. They need to know that we’re all the same. I have friends of, you know, every background. But, Macon, on a whole is a large community of diversity. Of course you

have people here and there who may perceive you in a different light.

For example, my hair. They might think, ‘Oh, she’s ghetto.’ But, I actually have my master’s in cosmetology. So it’s all about just loving each other and coming together. I really do love Macon.

It’s nice to have these festivals [like the Cherry Blossom Festival] to blend together and just talk, like we’re doing.

I have a big heart. I am very giving.

I’m not trying to put a big thing on race, but right now, nationally that is a big issue.

I think if you were to put everyone’s shade of skin together, it would be beautiful.

We’re all God’s people. I am a Christian, and I believe. We have nothing different except for the outside. It’s beautiful.

My best friend is white. It’s just nice to see the kids playing…they don’t see it. It’s just a beautiful thing. I wish there were more activities or places for urban children to go to after school, like art classes and music to keep them away from any violence that they can get into in the streets. Also for the suburban places, too. Everybody has

something that can stray them from their path. More mentoring. Definitely more mentoring.

I hope my children see the world in a bright light. I don’t want them to grow up oppressed, thinking that they are oppressed.

Because our household, we have a huge collection of our African-American history because I feel it’s being erased. I want them to take from that not the oppression, but the strength and the knowledge…and to not feel like they are less than but to feel equal and loved by everyone. She goes to Vineville, and he goes to Alex II. I think those are great environments to bring ’em up in.

You know, Macon’s a beautiful place. Everyone has something that is dark. But there’s more light than darkness here. So, I love it here.

White Sugar

• 30 tsp of white sugar can paralyze the immune system for 12 hours, which shuts down the digestive tract, which means it cannot fight off any bad bacteria.

• Causes candida, which develops yeast that has tentacles and burrows into the brain, intestinal walls and bone marrow and it pulls all minerals from the body.

• Restricts the blood vessels.

• That’s why fermented foods are so important because they eat up excess sugar.

• Too much sugar can also trigger rosacea, and vertigo.

F E AT U R E - by Renee Corwine

Uber Tales to Lyft Your Spirits Remember what happened last night in the backseat of your Uber? No? Well your driver does, and he’s spilling your secrets. Don’t panic. We’ve all been there – fumbling fingers on your iPhone, squinting as you try to drunk-click the app to get a ride. After all, isn’t that what Uber and Lyft are for? They take you home so you can avoid that pesky DUI charge. While you’re puking in the back seat (it happens a lot actually), holding hands with your driver (also happened) or going topless in the backseat (supposedly, THAT happened), your driver is – we hope – stone cold sober. And they remember you.

We chatted with a handful of local Uber and Lyft drivers – anonymously, of course – to hear some of their best stories. So what happens in the Lyft, stays in the Lyft? Not exactly, although some names and locations have been altered to protect your delicate reputations.

I had this rider who originally wanted to go to Warner Robins, and then he said, “Before we go to Warner Robins can we go to the convenience store?” I said that’s fine. We stopped, then he says, “Can you go in the store and buy some liquor for me?” I was like no … and I asked him why he couldn’t get it himself. He said was too drunk and felt like the cashier wouldn’t let him buy any more if he went in there.

I said, “No, I don’t feel comfortable doing that. You still want to go to Warner Robins?” He said, “No, instead just drop me off at the strip club.”

People tell me their impression of who I am, just at a glance.

I had to kick a guy out for trying to tell me an N-word joke.

People try to tell me heinous jokes, and I’m not that guy at all. It makes me want to ask them, what is it about me that makes you think I’d think that’s OK? So the guy was like, “Hey, what do you can an N-word …” and I was like, “Whoa man, not on this ride!” He says, “Hey, where’s your sense of humor?” So three or four minutes down the road, he tried another one. I immediately found a gas station and took the keys out of the car and told him to get out.

I picked up a lady, who I’d driven before, from one of the sorority houses along with a bunch of her girlfriends. They all hoped in the car, and said, “We know you! You’ve given us a ride before.” I said, “I’ve given this lady a ride before but I’ve never seen y’all before.” “Yes, you have! You’re the one that told us about picking up the ladies from the bachelorette party who went topless for the Uber ride!” I’m insisting I’m not that guy and they kept saying the whole ride home how I was that guy. … And that wasn’t the only time I’d heard the topless Uber story.

I was driving a couple from a downtown bar back to a university campus where their truck was parked. As I’m driving, the lady, who’s sitting in the front seat, grabs my hand and brings it over to her side of the car and holds it with both her hands. She looked over at me and said, “I just want to hold your hand,” in the most sincere drunk way she could. Then she takes my hand and puts it on her thigh. Her guy friend, who is sitting in the backseat, told me to just appease her, so I drove all the way there holding this young lady’s hand on her thigh. That was a first!

I was doing a Lyft line and I had a street philosopher type person immediate start talking about race relations. Another dude got in the car, and he was comfortable talking about it so they start talking, and then this gal gets in the car and she starts looking uncomfortable. So I told the guys to tone it down. The street philosopher guy was OK but the other guy was being a little pushy on it. Things got a little weird. I drop the philosopher off and then there’s this silence. Now, this other guy seems like a bro, and then he starts talking to the

girl. Things get creepy like that. I went to drop him off and he said he wanted to keep going, to see where this went with her and told me to “just be cool.” I was like, “I am being cool; you’re done now.” It’s disgusting, but this happens so often.

She thanked me more than enough, to the point where I was embarrassed to be a dude. And I didn’t really do that much standing up for her, I just told the guy to get out.

I picked up this couple from a music event downtown. I find out he’s a lawyer and they are from Alabama. The couple had brought her sister with them to the concert but they left the sister there because they said she’s a “crazy ass bitch.”

They’re going on and on about their life as I drive them out to a subdivision to drop them off. Then it’s getting fairly late and I decide to make one more run for the night and head back downtown. There’s an after-party for that concert, so I pull up in front and park my car. I have my windows down and there’s this very inebriated lady sitting on the park bench. There’s two folks from the band sitting with this lady, asking her how she’s gonna get home. She’s so inebriated that they kinda feel bad for just leaving her there. She’s like, “I don’t know I guess I’m gonna Uber.” I say, “Hey! I’m an Uber!” She pops up off the bench but is so inebriated she almost falls back over. She stumbles to my car and on the way the band member asks if she has Uber on her phone.

She’s like, “I don’t know.” He opens up her phone, can’t find Uber. So he’s trying to download Uber for her – she seemed a little technology challenged. Anyway, he can’t get Uber on her phone because she can’t remember her email. She’s knows her address though. I introduce myself to the band member, give him my card and tell him that this lady lives on my way home. She clearly needs some help, so I offer to give her a ride home. She stumbles into the car; we help her with her seatbelt and we’re on the way. The address was in the same subdivision I’ve been going to all night. She starts talking and says, “Yeah my sister and brother-in-law just left me at the concert. I can’t believe they left me there. I come here and they just leave me.” I say, “Is your brother-in-law a lawyer from Alabama?” Her eyes got real big and she says, “How did you know that?” Well, I just gave them a ride home.

Here’s what I like to call express Ubers. I went to pick up two gentlemen. They were standing at the end of their driveway.

I pulled up and they were looking at their phone and looking at me. You know, the “Uber look.” I could tell they were pensive about something. They hurriedly get in the car. I said, “Are we late?” They said, “Yes, we were supposed to be downtown at a reception 30 minutes ago.” I said, “Does this need to be an express KIDS NIGHT EVERY Uber?” The dude in the back says, “Yes, absolutely!

I’m an attorney here. I will cover you if you WEDNESDAY...KID’S get any tickets.” I said OK and we booked it downtown. We MEALS UNDER A $1! flew. I haven’t driven that fast in a long time. They tipped quite well, and were extremely appreciative.

I pick up a young married couple plus a friend from downtown. The lady is sitting beside me talking about this and that. The husband is sitting behind her and their guy friend is behind me. They’re talking, and the guy behind me, his head falls toward window. It looks like he’s taking a nap, although every once and a while he’d grunt. So we get to the neighborhood, I pull in the driveway and everybody gets out. As the doors close I’m checking where they are before I back out, and the guy has fallen down drunk in the yard. It looks like he’s out cold. I put down window and ask the couple if they need help moving him and they say no. I get another Uber call instantly, so I do the ride. After dropping that guy off, as soon as I get close to that same neighborhood I get another Uber call and recognize the name. It was the same folks I just dropped off. I pull up, they hop in the car and I notice their friend is still in the yard passed out. They hop in like it’s no big deal. I say, “You sure you want to leave him in the yard?” They say, “Oh, he’ll be just fine, it’s his house.”

One time I got caught in middle of a domestic dispute. I picked up the rider, she was coming out of the house with a bag of clothes and a baby and got in my car. Shortly after, a man comes running out of the house and he begs her not to leave, and he’s telling her he’s going to change and saying please don’t go. Then he starts taking everything out of the car and she’s like, “No, no, stop, I’m leaving,” and she’s putting the stuff back in the car. So it was back and forth for a while and then she tried to get back in the car, he physically wouldn’t let her. It was a horrible situation. I sat there 15 minutes letting them go back and forth and finally I didn’t feel comfortable any more. So I said, “I need to get out of here.”

So I cancelled the trip and drove off.

On the way to country concert in Macon, I pick up these guys who think they’re tough. You know, the ones who have bedazzled hats and jeans. So this guy gets in the backseat, asks me to turn up the music and then he cracks open a beer. The first three or four times that happened, I didn’t stand up for myself when people were being inappropriate in the car. I’ve had people wanting to drink, wanting to smoke, asking if they can smoke some herb in the car.

40s-plus white people don’t trust the GPS and they want to give you their own directions. And they also always assume I’ve done nothing with my life, and so I get a lot of advice.

Not only advice on directions, but stuff like, “How old are you? Well, there’s time for you yet, young man!”

THE SCENE Q&A | BY AARON IRONS

Listen to the Audio

TheCreekFM.com

JONATHAN BYRD

Jonathan Byrd has been a troubadour his entire life. He learned music as a boy in churches around the world, served his country in the U.S. Navy, and in 2003 his considerable songwriting skills made him a winner at the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Festival. Jonathan’s latest outing features long time collaborator Johnny Waken and singer/songwriter Kyshona Armstrong. The trio will performs live on the Creek Stage at the Rookery Tuesday 12/5.

Jonathan Byrd-- North Carolina singer/songwriter... but you have been, literally, all over the world. Your family-- you grew up in the church, your father was a minister, you got to Texas... Out of highschool you went into the Navy... How has all of that traveling in your early years made you the songwriter you are today?

Hmm.Well, I guess it gave me a bit more of a global perspective-- being a kid and being in Germany, and then coming back to the States when I was about 10-years-old... It was a bit of a culture shock. Just a lot of things that are different-- like most of the northern European countries are secular, and churches are kind of museums. My dad was a preacher, and we started Baptist churches in the fellowship hall or in the basement of other church buildings that were there. So, I grew up in this really intense church environment that was in mostly a secular country.

We came back to the States, and the church environment was really more of a mainstream thing. So, that was really interesting. I also learned a lot about World War II history. My dad was a big World War II buff and wherever we went, he would visit important sites regarding World War II. So, I had a lot of historical knowledge that other kids didn’t have, and kids were kind of like- they thought the kind of shoes they wore were really important.

There were things that really seemed incredibly trivial to me that seemed like they were really important to other kids. Sometimes it was hard for me to fit in that way.

You talk about that world view... I was talking to our mutual friend, Chris Moorman, who said he was introduced to you-- I believe this was after you made a record with Neal Fountain in Athens (GA) with the group Dromedary which has a tremendous world influence to it.

Yeah, I met those guys in Asheville (NC). They were playing a show, and I was playing a show at the same time, and I just saw that group of instruments that they had-- some of which I didn’t even recognize. I wasn’t able to go to the show, but my wife was with me, and she went to their show while I played mine. She came back and said, “Well, they’re awesome, and we should go down there and meet them.” We traded records, went home and listened to each others music... And I just thought, “How cool is that? How cool would that be to do some shows together? Not only I play a set and they play a set but to integrate our music.”

They were playing traditional music from different parts of the world, and I was more or less playing traditional American music or American roots music-- so, it didn’t seem like a big stretch of the imagination to put those things together-- and it took us a couple years, but we did. And then the record that Neal Fountain played on was the record we made after that one. So, we all grew up playing rock n’ roll, and after we made this record that was mostly an acoustic record with all these different world instruments on it, we made an electric record with Jeff Reilly on the drums-- who lived in Athens at the time, now he’s in California-- Neal Fountain on the bass, and then Rob and Andrew from Dromedary played electric guitars on it.

What’s the next Dromedary project to come your way? Or is there one in the works?

No-- Dromedary hasn’t made a project in years. Andrew lives out in California, for a while and was working out there... And now, actually his family has come back to Athens. So, I don’t know if there are any plans.

Oh, I just thought I’d try to find a scoop there! Well, let’s talk about that American roots music part. You have been described as a folk singer with a rock n’ roll soul, which once upon a time would have been a detriment in the folk music world... But now here you are in this time frame, where we have Americana music-- it’s own genre, has it’s own charts...

Singer/songwriters--who I think before might’ve bounced around pinball-like from label to label. Do you feel like you fit into that category?

I feel like I fit really well into Americana. I think Americana is a genre that attracts people who... They want to hear something different. They want to hear people who aren’t just sticking to a genre specific to a certain record. And I think I fit in really well with artists like Margo Price or Jason Isbell, people like that who kind of... The focus is on the songwriting, everything is revolving around the songwriting, but there’s a little more energy there.

You can have a drummer, and it’s cool-- you know? You can make a little noise and it’s ok. I think we all grew up listening to some music like that—so, why not express ourselves that way?

I totally agree with that, absolutely. Now, I want to bring this up, because this is very cool. In 2003, you actually were one of the winners at the Kerrville New Folk Festival. For folks that don’t know about that-- past winners: Steve Earle, Nanci 11thHourOnline.com 27

Q&A J O N AT H A N B Y R D CONTINUED

Griffith, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovette, Slaid Cleaves, James McMurtry... I’m throwing names out there, but you are in that pantheon of songwriters. When you were there-what was that feeling that you had when they said, “Alright, Mr. Byrd, you are the best of the best today.”

Well, my friend Colin Brooks-- who spent some time in the Band of Heathens, he’s a great guitar player, lives in Austin... He was also one of the winners that year. So, every year they have six winners which is cool because they don’t have to pick between apples and oranges. There’s different kinds of songwriters out there, right? So, they have six winners, and his name was announced before mine, and when they announced my name, I actually jumped through the air into his arms! That’s kind of how I felt about it! It was pretty cool. At the time, I was really just learning about the whole Texas lineage of songwriters, and for me the real fountain of honest American songwriting is the hill country of Texas where you’ve got people like Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith... All these great writers who come out of that one little area of Texas. And if you keep going back-- you go back to Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings... It keeps going. I don’t know what’s in the water there, but they have certainly produced many of the greatest American songwriters-- in my opinion. Now, I’m not talking about Nashville songwriting, or sort of New York Tin Pan Alley songwriting, commercial songwriting... I’m talking about artistic poetic people who are pushing the limits of the art form. I think that’s coming out of Texas.

We’ll I think it’s been said before by people smarter than me that if you want to be a songwriter for financial reasons, you go to Nashville and New York-- but if you want to be a songwriter and respected for it, you go to Texas. And like you, I think that some of the best American songwriters have come out of Texas and that part of Texas. It’s also a state you can go to and never leave as a performer and a songwriter. It’s so vast, has so many opportunities in clubs... Where did you go in Texas that you sorta just felt at home?

We just got back from playing Fischer Fest in Fischer, TX-- which is kind of like Luckenbach. It’s this little community, maybe three people live out there, but they have an outdoor stage-- they have a couple different stages out there. People come from all over that area in the hill country to come to either the concerts they put on or the festival they put on in November. That audience is just... They’re there for every word, every note of what I do. It really makes you appreciate being a songwriter and working on your craft when people can just soak it up like that. It’s incredible.

So, Fischer TX is great. We were in Austin... Austin, obviously-- the live music capitol... There’s like six 28 NOVEMBER 24 - DECEMBER 8, 2017

venues in the Austin airport! It’s incredible, the live music scene there. Dallas-Ft Worth is great!

We really love playing this place called Shipping and Receiving in Ft Worth, and Ft Worth Live is a great room. Also, in Houston is the Mucky Duck, a really legendary room... And Houston also has the Old Quarter which used to be-- or Galveston has the Old Quarter which used to be in Houston which is where, of course, Townes Van Zandt made that legendary Live at The Old Quarter record.

Yeah, we play a couple of those tracks here at the Creek. We’ll let me ask you this-- have you ever been to play in Macon before?

I have never been to Macon, GA.

We’re looking forward to having you. You’ve got friends, you got fans here. We’ve got a brand new stage built. It’s called the Creek Stage at the Rookery. It’s going to be a fantastic listening room where I know you gonna be able to shine with your songs. Before we wrap this up, tell me about the new record you’ve got coming out.

So, we made a new trio record. We’ve got a great trio. Kyshona Armstrong, this really cool songwriter, great singer. I met her when she was working the bar at Hendershot’s in Athens, GA. Now she’s in Nashville makig records and touring around.

I saw her again in England, and I was really impressd with her-- just drivin’ herself around on the wrong side of the road, bookin’ her own tour... She got up and sang a song with us during the show and I said, “I don’t know if you play the bass, but we’re looking for a team member.” And she didn’t play the bass, but she just went and got bass lessons and joined the band... And she’s awesome!

(Laughing) Doesn’t that make you mad? Just picked it up like that!

It’s incredible, it’s incredible! I’m happy to have her in the band... And then my friend Johnny Waken plays electric guitar, mandolin, harmonica-- he plays the musical saw, he plays the washboard during a song-- he’s crazy and a really great performer! So, we’re touring with this trio, and we didn’t have a record that sounded like what we do... So, we just made one really quick.

In a few days, we recorded eleven of our favorite songs we wanted to play during the show, and we just called the record Trio, and we’re gonna have that on this tour.

That’s the outfit that’s gonna be on the Creek Stage?

That’s right, we’ll all be on the Creek Stage, and I’m bringing my friend Corrin Raymond. He’s a great Canadian songwriter.

That’s gonna be awesome.

SKYDOG FEST

MOTH SWEAT

With family clambering in for the Thanksgiving holiday, you may feel the need to escape Uncle Joe’s always inappropriate remarks or just work off some of your mom’s pecan pie.

Luckily, Fresh Produce Records will be hosting a few noisy, out of this universe, not your Uncle Joe’s, experimental bands to take your mind off the holiday drama. moth sweat, a newer act in the Macon scene, will be one of the bands performing this Friday. I spoke with members Ryder Seigle (drums/electronics) and Rafael Villanueva (guitar/vox) about their upcoming show, fatherhood, and their sense of obligation to play music.

Moth Sweat started from a previous project. How did you guys meet and why are you restarting the band?

Raf and I met one stormy night in Macon when I rescued him from a mysterious pervert who was hassling him as he loaded in after a gig with his former free jazz band, The Convergence. We are playing together again because of magnetism. It’s an energy that draws us back together over the course of many lifetimes. It just feels right for this expression to come out now.

What is your songwriting process?

Radical experimentation through the wormhole of consciousness. Most everything is improvised so there is not much songwriting as there is spontaneous composition. We weave patterns and sensations together to form a tapestry that vanishes as soon as it is gazed upon in full. We face the black mirrors of our inner beings. We play many instruments together. Even ones we can’t play.

Do you have any other outlets for creativity that contribute to the music side of your life? How do these help rejuvenate your creativity?

Ryder: I recently became a father, which has

SOCIETY GARDEN

had such a beautiful impact on my life creatively. Having a child is a parent’s opportunity to truly be a child again, which seems contradictory, but it is not. Seeing everything from a brand new perspective and starting to learn everything from the bottom up again has made every aspect of my life so much sweeter and rewarding.

Raf: I paint. I write. I talk. I live. I comedy. I have sex. I cook. I am reborn each time I open my eyes. I pinch myself some afternoons to see if this all a dream or not. My creativity is an eternal golden river.

Tell me about your background in music.

Ryder: My parents were kinda Gen X alt-rock fans so there was lots of music playing as a kid.

I raised myself combing YouTube and blogs for new music and playing drums. I remember just wanting to play because I thought it was cool.

But I don’t seem to have much choice anymore.

It has sorta consumed my life.

Raf: I got into metal because maturation made me freak out. I played guitar. Then, as I’ve grown, I continued to pursue music as an outlet. I like the spatial geometry. From metal, then George Clinton who beamed me somewhere else, jazz, then the dissolution of genre into a primordial soup of sound. I like the sounds of nature now.

What band would you love to open up for and why? Björk because she’s Björk.

OCMUGLEE BREWPUB

CAPITOL THEATRE

What can we expect at your show at Fresh Produce?

Most likely, an amalgam of chaos colors shapely forms missing identifying features. Maybe a ghost. Almost certainly sounds that come from instruments designed by executives. Potentially life changing. Definitely gilded mistakes. Playing chopsticks on the ribs of Holdfast and howling in blood. A chance for sweat and costumes.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

JASON EADY

}

Jason Eady will be performing on the Creek Stage at the Rookery Thursday December 7th.

If you dig back far enough, way down in the mine, past the bros and the badonkadonks, before the Outlaws, behind the countrypolitan curtain, underneath Hank William's Cadillac, but somewhere over Clinch Mountain-- you'll find the heart of country music. Now, that heart continues to pump-- but sometimes it's as if you have to put your ear to the dirt or cold steel rail, close your eyes and listen with dedication just to hear a faint “buh-bump.” Other times the radio senses your longing and frustration and gives you a Jason Eady.

Jason Eady grew up in Jackson, Mississippi surrounded by blues and country music. He headed to Texas in 2002 after serving in the Air Force and running classified missions in the Middle East. Legend has it that Eady's the only songwriter in country music who speaks Arabic! He'd become a fan of Steve Earle after a show in England, and from there found the music of Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt-- all songwriters who'd use the simplest lines to create the strongest narratives. Jason combined the poetry of Texas songwriters with the cleanly crafted music of Merle Haggard and began to find his own words in the open mics around Ft Worth.

In 2012, Eady released AM Country Heaven-- a scathing look at contemporary country music radio featuring songwriter/producer Kevin Welch, the pedal steel of Lloyd Maines and “Mr. Honky Tonk Piano”, Earle Poole Ball. 2014's Daylight/Dark straddled the divide between concept album and confessional while winning over contemporaries and critics. The latest

}

self-titled release from Jason Eady continues the focus on songs without excess that don't require ballast-- songs with heartbeat rhythms and deliberate themes.

Country music exists to be accessible, but it should also be crafted to endure. There's a great deal of contempt associated with country music radio today-- but where does the fault land?

In the accounts of label executives who keep cookie cutters in their desk drawers? Beneath the heels of the endless parade of shadow-bearded cowboys who grew up listening to hair-metal and hip-hop instead of Tom T Hall and Kris Kristofferson? In the auto-tuned border-line karaoke quality of material being released by the chanteuse-of-the-month?

The majority of physical music in America is purchased in banal big-box sheds ending in mart that only stock units-- not artists. By contrast, the internet provides access to more songs and bands than you could ever experience on more platforms than you would ever fit on a preferred device-- 99.9 % of which is subject to taste at best and flat out unlistenable at worst. So, what's a country music fan to do?

Close your eyes and actually listen-- it's there for you to hear...

Buh-bump.
