Went to the Mossy Creek Barnyard Festival over the weekend…
The bluegrass music was spectacular! There doesn’t seem to ever be real bluegrass played in Macon…
It was nice to hear the real deal…
This is my idea of what turf should look like… Did you know that turf had flowers?
There were a bunch of artists with paintings, there were artists actually working on their paintings while we watched…
Next time… I need to collect business cards…
While I don’t have money or space to hang these works, I know people that do…
And there were a lot of artists working with wildflowers… and I didn’t take enough pictures…

We went down to Central City Park yesterday to see Skydog 65, an Alman brothers tribute band.
Entrance fee: 10 cans of food for the Macon Rescue Mission.
The music perfectly captured the Almans, and the crowd was appreciative.

Second Sunday in the park was a good time as always, although a double feature with two bands in the full moon was kind of a bit much…
JuBee & the Morning After and Gringo Grande played…

Pic of the crowd…
The full moon behind the band…
Gringo Grande was very much the whiskey drinking rock n roll n blues band with a couple of drinking songs right out of the box, followed by a ballad about how we all should’ve cried when John Lennon died.
I thought the music was superiour in every way, but everybody with kids at the park suddenly seemed to remember obligations elsewhere…

Second Sunday at Dark in Washington Park was superb!
Music by Back City Woods A local band that Rocks!
You forget that there are good bands… I was told to expect bluegrass, but the closest that band got to bluegrass was when they played “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”, and sang Tom Petty’s “Won’t Back Down”
Other cover tunes included Nirvana’s “Smells’ like Teen Spirit” and a Johnny Cash tune…
Looks like a bluegrass band…
good crowd…

Macon is home to the arts! Another First Friday spent visiting art galleries and listening to live music.

Still as disturbing as ever, The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a 2 act play is being put on at Theatre Macon.
It’s consistent, the actors are in character and it goes over very well with the true Rocky Horror fans…

I thought that Macon downtown First Friday was more of a success for the galleries than it was for music in the park…
I got a kick out of this come-as-you-will-be party scene… on display at the under 30 /under $100 exhibit.

The Golden Bough bookstore had a live music set tonight…
I got there for the last 2 bands.
I hate to say it, but I usually sit around and read during the music… but tonight, when I heard Zebu! start playing, I was in there cheering, my body was moving to the rhythm and I didn’t care.
The last time I enjoyed music that much was when Jackyl was in town…
While Zebu! played mostly their own songs, they got busy on some Devo, and some Elvis when they were asked for encores…
Elvis impersonator…
Wild guitar work!
When it was Savant’s turn, they got our attention by peeling off some of those unnecessary layers… Felt like a Runaways concert, except for the guys in the band…
Savant was just as loud as Zebu!, and seemed to completely fill the room with their fans.
