“Remember, the best way to support live music is to actually go see live music.”– Larry Jack Sammons
Okay, guys, it’s been a heck of a couple weeks. I’ve driven all over creation and seen shows in Jacksonville, Charleston, Savannah (obvs!), attended weddings, a celebration of life, and…well, you get it. Hopefully my not posting didn’t make anyone miss the best concert of their life.
Anyway, during literally thousands of miles of driving, I’ve had some time to think about some things. I had initially decided to change the name of the column to something different that still paid respect to Larry Jack, but after the response to my last column, the lovely things that people have said to me about him, the hugs, and the vibe of Larry’s celebration of life, my intuition is that not changing the name of the column is the right thing to do. Thoughts? Objections?
I’d love some other input here, actually. What do we want this thing to be? Like, specifically? Just a Savannah live music schedule? Regional? All genres? Weekly posts? A couple weeks of shows in a post, or is it better to look out further? Do you want recommendations? Are times and prices important or are we all grown(ish) adults who can Google the details? I’m open to suggestions, keeping in mind that I’d rather be seeing live music than sitting in front of a computer.
You can comment online on the post, dm me on Insta (@flowplowed) or FB (Tom Cartmel), but much better yet, come out and talk to me at a show. Tom
