Travelin’ music from just down the street
I posted these guys — the Carolina Chocolate Drops, from Durham, N.C. — a while back, but since they’re appearing tonight down the street at the Variety Playhouse in Little Five Points, and since I’ve already got our tickets in hand, I thought I’d give ‘em another shout-out.
We’ve been blessed with a wide variety of ways to tap into music, from satellite radio to iTunes to standard radio to downloads to Pandora to Youtube videos, but there’s nothing better for musicians and audience alike than experiencing music played live. No matter how good the sound recording or how data-rich the video, it can’t communicate the energy and emotion that flows in live performance.

Wow! I wish I had known the drops were in town, I’d have been there in a second. Awesome group! If you need a source for new music, check out WHRV.org/Out of the box with Paul Shegrue online. Atlanta needs a program like that here, along with a second NPR station.
