Has there ever been a story of more woe than what will happen to Fort Discovery? The question is, what can go into a space split into galleries, equipped with a theater and designed for field trips that doesn't require a massive remodeling? Well, how about another museum? What about the Morris?

Steve Hall is probably the most successful independent promoter working in Augusta today -- and he doesn't even live here. Mr. Hall, of Alabama, is responsible for most of the radio rock shows booked in clubs, pubs and other venues around town.

It's hard to say goodbye. It was recently announced that Joe Graves and the Dirty Left Hand had disbanded after the departure of guitarist Furman Fowler.

Christmas seems a long way off. I, for one, haven't even decided on a Halloween costume, although I'm leaning toward Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. So decking halls seems premature.

I hate keeping secrets. It isn't that I can't keep them, but I find it kind of a drag. It's probably part of the reason I got into reporting, a license to spill beans.

All my life, I've wanted to be one of those fortunate few that can claim to have been present at a historic concert. I wanted to be able to say I was there when Jimi set his Strat alight, when James Brown brought his rumble to the jungle, or when Ozzy bit the bat.
