What is “Very Valdosta”?
Contrary to what the billboards would have you believe “Very Valdosta” is NOT going wild at a remotely managed amusement park, nor is it tempting your taste buds at dozens of eateries most of which are owned by global corporations
As far as I am concerned “Very Valdosta” is spending an afternoon downtown at a locally owned coffee shop, listening to live music played by local musicians.
Congratulations to GÜD Coffee in their new space on the corner of Central & Patterson (formerly Hildegard’s)… and my thanks for hosting two of my favorite musicians, Dabbit Nabbit (David Rodock) and Murray the K (Murray Rivette).
Dabbit Nabbit has played with various combinations of local musicians, always with self-effacing excellence. His guitar skills and mellow voice are well suited to the coffee shop ambience.
Murray the K knows his way around a harmonica and has a perfect voice for the blues.
Local musicians and a local business downtown… that’s what I call Very Valdosta.
Sounds fun!!
Where do you find when they play?
I found out by hearsay.
Don’t know about future shows.
I had forgotten live music existed anymore. Many years ago, almost everyone was in a band at one time or another, and there were more musicians, more people who practiced hard, and who honed their talent. I miss the days of people singing, playing guitar, and not caring they if they sounded just right or not.
I remember when we thought beauty was more than a image of a woman that had been photoshopped to the point no live person could look like that.
It’s a world lived now on the internet, where everything is perfect, everything is just so, and the ugly reality of the real world is forgotten.
