The music is at: livemusicathensga/play_music-2/ Hey there, First a disclaimer: I am using a lot of SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) writing this. I am running around like crazy trying to get everything ready for my trip to Florida so I dont have time to research my recommendations. A lot them are based on knowing the venues and the people scheduling at the venues. As always I highlight bands I have heard before and know they will put on a good show in blue. My highlights for last week were Kenosha Kid and Thayer Sarrano’s Twin Peaks show, Killick and The Home of Easy Credit and the Wild Rumpus shows at 40 Watt. My apologies if you did not receive my email last week, there was a glitch sending it. Most of the people I contacted received it but some did not. You can always go to my Home page livemusicathensga/ to find the latest emails. This will be my last email for several weeks. I am leaving for Hulaween Thurs and will stay in FL thru Bear Creek. I hope to see yall there, especially Bear Creek. It is my favorite festival vibe and has a fantastic lineup.
