Nashville: Music City

May 31, 2014Musicadmin

Great music in Nashville tonight. Nashville, GEORGIA, that is.

LIVE from the Nashville (Georgia) Women's Club. — Kyle Keller and friends LIVE from the Nashville (Georgia) Women’s Club.

Nashville is a small town 25 miles northeast of Valdosta, Georgia. The only venue there for live music is the Nashville Women’s Club building, hidden behind the fast food restaurants that line the main drag.

First up tonight was Kyle Keller on guitar, accompanied by Jack Lindsey on bass and Dallas Stone on harmonica. Kyle has an extensive playbook of original songs, with heartwarming lyrics that speak of a wisdom beyond his 20 years. The song that urges us to show people that we love them NOW, don’t wait until tomorrow because “tomorrow won’t wait for you” brought tears to this Old Lady’s eyes. Kyle and his friends head out for Amelia Island tomorrow to do some street performing, or “busking” which he says is a word he doesn’t use much because most people don’t know what it means anymore.

John Weeks then played solo, acoustic rhythm guitar. He’s just off tour with Machinist and Dying Whale and very happy to be back on acoustic. Find him on Facebook at John Weeks Plays. He has t-shirts and CDs, man!

The ASSBar Hits Another Home Run

May 17, 2014Ashley Street Station, Musicadmin

The Old Lady’s favorite dive bar, Ashley Street Station, has done it again.

A live local show. The music the Old Lady lives to hear.

Opening act: Valdosta natives Jen Anders and Scott Clark. Jen has a voice reminiscent of Janis Joplin, without the screaming. Scott Clark on U-Bass (Ukelele Bass) is the perfect backup man. They’re headed next to St. Simons and Brunswick, on the southern Georgia coastline area known as the Golden Isles of Georgia. They’ll be playing the Georgia Sea Island Festival on June 7 & 8. Watch for them! Listen to the Old Lady!

Another nice thing at the ASSBar is that the TVs are always playing the Braves game. TV worth watching, while you wait for the next band to set up.

Tonight’s headliner was Big Shoals, and this was the CD release party. Big Shoals started with a bang: the first number was ROCKING in that old-time country hard rock style, and a couple took to the floor with some moves that left the Old Lady breathless!

Big Shoals went on to exhibit a variety of styles, all excellent. You can hear the entire album on Spotify at https://play.spotify.com/album/03pe3GWe5pa4lRfQG7fRA2?play=true&utm_source=open.spotify.com&utm_medium=open

This is your opportunity to be able to say “Wow, man, I saw them live at Ashley Street Station!” someday when you can’t even afford tickets to see them at a major venue in Atlanta or Tampa. Don’t you think the Old Lady loves to be able to say “I first saw the Allman Brothers live FOR FREE in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park on a Saturday afternoon in the late sixties. I was the little hippie chick in yellow hightop Converse sneakers sitting on top of the stone pillar beside the steps where they performed!”

Cruisin’ Down Memory Lane

May 9, 2014Fun, Musicadmin

A blast from the past in the form of the Jukebox Oldies Band wound up the week-long Brown Bag Concert Series on the Historic Courthouse Square in downtown Valdosta, Georgia.

This band is a hoot!

Appropriately kicking off their set with “This Magic Moment” from the Drifters, the six guys in blue jeans and white polo shirts proceeded to provide Magic Moments for every taste as they offered hits from the fifties and sixties and beyond. Their good old “boy group” harmonies took the Old Lady back to her childhood listening to WQXI-AM “Quixie in Dixie” in Atlanta when Atlanta was still just a town. And the downtown Valdosta crowd loved’em.

The guys are no spring chickens… well, neither is the Old Lady!… two of them are Professors of Economics at Valdosta State University (VSU), one has been a Lowndes County Commissioner as well as VSU Dean of Students, one is a longtime local lawyer, and the singer is “unemployed and on relief.”

Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” – last time the Old Lady heard this live was from Procol Harum itself, at the old Sports Arena in Atlanta, circa 1974. The Old Lady got there on an Atlanta Transit Authority bus; this was before MARTA, kids.

James Brown’s “I Feel Good” – who HASN’T boogied to the Godfather of Soul at one time or another???

The Tams’ “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy” – hey, the Old Lady figures two outta three ain’t bad.

You can hear the Jukebox Oldies Band Saturday, May 17, 2014 starting at 6 p.m. in Hahira, Georgia, “behind City Hall” and near some pizza joint. Don’t give the Old Lady that puzzled look; Hahira’s not that big a metropolis, just drive out there and you’ll find them; NO EXCUSES, DON’T BE A WIMP.

They’ve got out a CD and you can find them on Facebook. Find them! Buy the CD! Go enjoy them live!

Sundance Jenkins

May 8, 2014Musicadmin

The Old Lady has a new favorite band.

She happened to be in downtown Valdosta at lunchtime and caught Sundance Jenkins performing on the courthouse square as part of the weeklong Brown Bag Concert Series.

The gum-chewing front guy in the Hawaiian shirt said “We only do love songs. Well, other than our Michael Bolton set. We celebrate his entire catalog!” Then he added, “Seriously, we’re gonna do a little of this a little of that.” Boy howdy, didn’t they!

This band ranges from country to rock to rockabilly to funk. They played one tune with a really Goth heavy metal beat. They are all over the place, and they are GREAT at ALL of it! They OWNED that Wenger Showmobile provided by the Valdosta Lowndes County Parks and Recreation Authority!

Terry Chitwood can flat freakin' PLAY! — Terry Chitwood can flat freakin’ PLAY!

Terry Chitwood, the lead guitar, the man who seldom sang and never spoke, is HOT. The man sports bifocals, a graying goatee, armfuls of tattoos, and the man can flat freakin’ play. He blew the Old Lady away on their cover of Dire Straights’ Sultans of Swing. He sizzled on Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead or Alive. That Goth heavy metal tune? The Old Lady can’t put her finger on the title, but it hit her demographic dead center. She repeats: the man can flat freakin’ PLAY!

You are capable of handling a person stronger than you, if you can use your hidden power. viagra sales canada It improves cell cialis brand 20mg growth and stamina.
And lest she forget, the Old Lady would like to reminisce fondly on Sundance Jenkins’ segue from Play That Funky Music White Boy into Superstitious into Rapper’s Delight: OMG you had to be there! A barefooted not-so-young lady dressed all in bright yellow got up and boogied unashamedly, and the Old Lady nodded with understanding.

You can hear some sample tunes by this band at http://www.sundancejenkins.com but if you have the sense God gave a goose you’ll plan to catch them live; they are consummate showpeople and know how to structure a set! The aforementioned Terry Chitwood, Mark Swift, Kelsey Stone, Mark Praine, and H. Aaron Strickland have all been around the block a few times and this is NOT their first rodeo. They’ll give you more than an Eight Second Ride as the Jake Owen song says, and by the way their cover does it more than justice.

Check’em out at Mulligan’s in Remerton, Georgia (part of Valdosta) on Friday, May 9, 2014; at the Cypress Grill in Cordele, Georgia on Saturday, May 10, 2014; at Lucky’s in Remerton on Saturday, May 24, 2014; or Rascal’s in Lake Park, Georgia, on Friday, June 13, 2014. There are maps for all these gigs on their website so don’t give the Old Lady any whiny “I didn’t know how to find the place” excuses.

Old Pros and Hungry Youngsters

May 2, 2014Musicadmin

The Old Lady took a notion to go out on the town tonight.

She wanted to hear Joe Smothers at the 306 North Restaurant in Valdosta, Georgia, where she first heard him play about a year ago.

A year ago, when her only writing gig was a freebie for a street rag called the Glass Onion, when she was so poor she couldn’t even buy herself a drink but sat at the bar hoping the bartenders were too busy to notice her. And they were. And Joe Smothers, playing acoustic guitar, sang a medley of Simon and Garfunkel tunes which included I Am a Rock. And for the Old Lady, forty-five years melted away and she remembered that isolated, miserable teenager, alone in her room, listening to that album over and over. And she wept.

Joe is such an old pro. He remembered. Tonight he played I Am a Rock again, but now the Old Lady can buy herself a glass of wine and smile nostalgically. What a difference a year makes.

Joe went on to play The Sounds of Silence. At one time, the Old Lady was convinced that T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is the greatest poem of the twentieth century. She has now come to believe that The Love Song is the greatest poem of the first part of the twentieth century; The Sounds of Silence is the greatest poem of the last part of the twentieth century. The greatest poem of the twenty-first century? It is yet to be written.

When you consume Tadalista 10 pill, the drug Tadalafil suppresses the action of an enzyme called PDE5 (phosphodiesterase sale of viagra type five). Despression symptoms should get speedy as it averted that really buy levitra serious difficulty. Do not go for a massage if you have pregnancy-induced illnesses, such as hypertension or high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, blood clots, gestational diabetes, nausea or morning sickness, placental dysfunction, diarrhoea, and severe headaches. purchase generic viagra browse around now Furthermore, when the blood super viagra online vessels in the abdomen constrict, it could have an adverse effect on the blood flow to the penile tissue and makes it difficult to keep an erection in men.
The Old Lady then moved up the street to the Bleu Café, where Bryan Cathey was singing along with his acoustic guitar. Just as the Old Lady sat down, Bryan mentioned his tip jar… and the Old Lady, ever attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, felt moved to put money in said tip jar. Bryan proceeded to play an acoustic cover of I Will Survive, the old disco hit, and it struck a chord with the Old Lady as she gave thanks for her survival to this point and prayed for the survival of this young musician.

Bryan plays acoustic but he has an intensity that is compelling. He played All the Single Ladies and the Beatles’ All My Lovin’ with all the heart and soul of a hungry youngster.

This is the good stuff. The old pros… and the hungry youngsters.

An AWESOME Evening at Elder House

April 29, 2014Fun, Music, The Elder Houseadmin

A pleasant Monday evening in Valdosta, Georgia. Five great bands. A buncha fans crammed into a makeshift venue. One fucking awesome evening of live music.

It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Elder House, about which the Old Lady has blogged before (see http://www.oldladyandpurpledragon.com/music-man/ ), hosted a show tonight with (in order of appearance): Dead Southern Bishop, Hoffa HQ, Moirae, Hall of the Elders, and Encased in Ice.

Awesome.

Dead Southern Bishop: sorta local (“They’re from Alma,” he said, “but I’m from around here”), kicked off the evening with a crash and a bang. Awesome.

Hoffa HQ: a shirtless sweaty bass player. Melodic metal from a lead guitar guy wearing earplugs. ‘Nuff said. Awesome.

Moirae: head banging metal, with some swingy odd bits reminiscent of Robert Fripp on Elephant Talk (from the Discipline album with King Crimson). A drummer who looks like Frank Zappa’s bastard son (“All right!” he responded, “He was a down motherfucker!”). Awesome!

Encased in Ice: just a buncha kids, but boy can they play. Awesome!

Look for all these bands on Facebook. Watch for all these bands at a venue near you.

Sunday Brunch at the Station

April 27, 2014Animals, Ashley Street Station, Food, Musicadmin

What’s that, you say? Valdosta, Georgia’s best dive bar, Ashley Street Station, has a Sunday brunch??? How undivelike.

Even more undivelike: the Bloody Mary bar. They bring you a glass with ice and vodka, and you do the rest with six kinds of Bloody Mary mix as well as V-8, every kind of hot sauce the Old Lady ever heard of and quite a few she’s never seen, pickles and olives and celery sticks… you get the picture, and the picture doesn’t do it justice.

"I'm not very photogenic," he protested. — “I’m not very photogenic,” he protested.

But of course there was live music. Heath Deloach with his acoustic guitar, playing a lot of covers and a few originals. The Old Lady particularly liked Josephine, a lovely love song Heath wrote for his girlfriend whose name is NOT Josephine. I guess three syllables just fit the rhyme scheme better, or something like that. He didn’t say.

Lily, the 15-week-old purebred Bloodhound. A charming young lady.

MUSIC, man!

April 26, 2014Ashley Street Station, Music, The Elder Houseadmin

If you think Valdosta is some backwater, backwoods, backwards south Georgia cultural sinkhole, you need to listen to the Old Lady:

To wit: one Friday night, four great musical experiences.

Let us begin at the beginning, at The Elder House which is a garage apartment near VSU. The downstairs has been converted into a small music hall or, more accurately, a rec room with a stage. We will not discuss the décor, or lack thereof. We are here for the music.

REALIZATION is in the house... The Elder House, that is! — REALIZATION is in the house… The Elder House, that is!

First up, REALIZATION from just up the road: Albany, Georgia. As the lead singer informs us, they are a “crossover hard-core band” and the emphasis is on “hard.” The Old Lady hasn’t seen a singer work that hard – for free! – in quite some time. When the music starts, this is a crazy man! With bearded face and bulging eyes, he breaks a sweat two minutes in and from there on it was Katy bar the door! Four guys onstage, twelve people in the audience… REALIZATION fills up the corners with blasting speakers and screaming lyrics.

Next up, a solo act. Billed by the promoter (translation: the guy who lives upstairs) as The Sarah Beth Experience, she says she’s “just a chick who does covers on the ukulele.” Correction: this chick ROCKS the ukulele! The Old Lady loves her cover of Amy Winehouse’s Valerie, followed by Katy Perry’s The One That Got Away. Sarah Beth informs us that: “If Katy Perry didn’t exist, I wouldn’t be living in Georgia… it’s this weird internet thing, I don’t want to go into it.” Well, the Old Lady knows a tease when she hears one, so afterwards she demands to hear “the rest of the story” as Paul Harvey says. The Old Lady is not a spoiler; if you want to know, ask Sarah Beth. She’s the one with the ukulele.

Last onstage (the show had to end by 11, the chick with the red hair told one band member; “last time we ran past 11 and got shut down.” Damn neighbors; don’t they know art when they hear it?) is NORTHBOUND, a band which is actually southbound after a nine-day tour (“Donations please!” pleaded one guitar player/singer, “we’re going to Disney World tomorrow! Help us get back home to Miami!”). Then the band proceeds to blow the Old Lady away, and for nothing more than gas money. These guys don’t play for the money, they play because that’s what they do, they love it and they are damn good at it. NORTHBOUND has a new release… duh, that’s why they’re touring… and you can hear it at http://northboundfl.bandcamp.com/ but it won’t sound quite as good as LIVE and in your face at The Elder House! If you missed this show, you are a dweeb! LISTEN to the Old Lady!

Three bands. Three hours of great music. And all it costs the Old Lady is some gas money for the boys in the band. Oh yeah, and a coupla beers but they were a gift and she has them stashed in a cooler in the Golden Dragon outside.

Gymena is also effective in reducing weight. 5. levitra tab 20mg Womenra stimulates vital hormones in the body and the amount of calcium right in the blood stream which leads for quicker buy levitra http://djpaulkom.tv/6ix-commandments-named-top-mixtape-of-2013-by-scene-point-blank/ responses of recovery by the male patient. Cheap Silagra levitra generika probe with discount measured an effective & dependable medication, which may help in getting easy erection. Being natural cialis prescriptions you can expect all the benefits that people experience after having sex. So it’s only 11 and the Old Lady’s favorite dive bar, Ashley Street Station, is on the way home so she stops in to see whassup.

The West Virginia Slims have left the stage... please remain calm. — The West Virginia Slims have left the stage… please remain calm.

Whassup is the West Virginia Slims, a rockabilly band with swagger that the Old Lady has reviewed before (see http://www.oldladyandpurpledragon.com/the-great-guinness-toast/ ). This night they include a Spanish-flavored song, an original titled Lonely Trumpet , with sadly sweet riffs that seriously brings the Old Lady to tears, good tears, the ones that come when she hears something that’s so damn lovely she can’t hardly stand it. One of’em tells the Old Lady “I hope you give us a glowing review!” Are you freakin’ kidding??? She already said they’re great; what more can she say? Just this: go see’em!

The Indigo Girls: Soundtrack and Celebration

April 8, 2014Aging, Music, Spiritualityadmin

The INDIGO GIRLS as seen from the Left Orchestra, Seat O1.

Sometimes it takes the Old Lady some time to digest the really important, the really symbolic experiences.
So today, dear readers, she would like to revisit her recent trek to hear the Indigo Girls live.
Of course they were wonderful, the Jacksonville Symphony backing them was perfect, and the venue at the University of Florida was lovely… all of that has already been said.
And she has already mentioned that the song “Kid Fears” made her cry.
It was only this morning that the Old Lady finally understood why.
When the Old Lady first saw Amy & Emily live at the Van Wezel in Sarasota in the early ‘90s, she was accompanied by her first real partner. They’d been together for some years at that time. The Old Lady had advanced in her job to the point that she was getting comp tickets to primo performances at the finest performing venue in town. She was making enough money to take her girlfriend to dinner before the concert to one of the best restaurants in the culinary capitol of the Suncoast. And the Old Lady was in love.
She felt like a real grownup, for the first time in her life.
You have to take that nutrient in your diet that is full of essential elements as amino acids, fibers, phytonutrients, healthy fats and 27 different vitamins and minerals, fiber, phytonutrients and nearly viagra super active respitecaresa.org all amino acids. Fast forward 20 years and companies like kamagra have taken cheap viagra 100mg anti-ED medications to a new level. It may consist of aging, generic cheap viagra generic levitra article emotions, psyche and lack of interest. Wife would be wise to choose the levitra sale purchase at page right one on proper consultation with a doctor as the issue may be an underlining problem of bigger concern. The self-titled album “Indigo Girls” became the soundtrack for that time in the Old Lady’s life. She listened to it a million times… especially the track “Kid Fears.”
Decades intervened. Reality raised its ugly head. Alcoholism, infidelity, and abuse eroded the Old Lady’s golden dream. Love died.
Finally, the Old Lady let go of everything she thought she had in those halcyon days, coming to the bitter knowledge that none of it was really hers anyway.
In the letting go came real freedom, and genuine happiness.
So when the Old Lady sat, alone, in the middle of the crowd at this 2014 concert and wept… she wept, not tears of sadness for all the losses, but tears of joy at all of the experiences: the good and the bad, the pleasure and the pain, the ups and downs and sideways of her life.
That’s why the Old Lady cried.

The Old Lady Cops a ‘Tude

April 1, 2014Fun, Music, Spiritualityadmin

The Old Lady burst into tears while driving to church Sunday morning.
The day was so beautiful, clear cool Spring air following the rainstorm that washed away – at least temporarily – the heavy yellow fall of south Georgia pollen. Traveling along the country backroad to the small town where St. James’ Episcopal Church is located, she came upon a stand of blooming wisteria draping some oak and pine trees. The purple blossoms beckoned in the sunshine, and even though she was sure she would be late to church she had to stop to take a photograph.
Upon resuming her drive, tears sprang into the Old Lady’s eyes, tears of joy and overwhelming gratitude for such a lovely day.
After church, another beautiful experience.

The Old Lady drove to Gainesville, Florida to attend a concert by the Indigo Girls. It’s been more than a decade since the Old Lady heard Amy and Emily play live, and they not only are as good as ever (maybe better!), for this tour they are backed by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. What a show!

When they played the old hit, “Kid Fears”, the Old Lady burst into tears again, tears not of sadness and missing the time that the song provided a soundtrack for her life, but again tears of gratitude; gratitude for the trip from then until now, and all the experiences… good and bad!… that the Old Lady has been blessed to go through.
