Musician Frank Zappa once declared, "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid." While this might be a simplistic view of our realities, it does capture the idea that music brings with it energy and excitement, especially when listening to skilled live musicians. Jim Webb has once again compiled the following list of live music shows taking place in cities large and small around the heart of Georgia.
