Why macon-music.com?
I’m Paul Thomas. I played keyboards for several years in and around Macon, GA with many different groups.
I recently undertook a large project, transferring many of my old VHS and 8mm tapes to digital, and clipping the videos into smaller bite-size clips. Some of these tapes have footage of me or people I know playing, and most of it was in Macon.
I’ve never lived in Macon, but that’s where I consider my musical home to be. That’s where the best playing took place, by the best players I’ve ever played with.
I decided to set up macon-music.com so that I can have a place online specifically for sharing the band materials I’ve collected over the years.
I invite anyone to contribute any footage, materials, or stories you have.
This is time-consuming stuff. I hope that something good will come of it. Peoples’ addiction to that site with face and book in its name is tough competition. :-O
I guess we’ll see. In the meantime, enjoy the videos and music and pictures. There’s more to come.

PT
remember me? thanks for these flashbacks.
Yes I do! I’m so glad you found this…
I actually have more. I just gotta find a circular tuit thingy and put it all up here…
😉
Hey Paul, this is really an amazing thing you are doing . I didn’t know any of these video’s existed . I thought we had a very good band and really enjoyed these times , I am so glad to see these video’s . It is great to be intouch with you , and I hope all is well. Maybe we should do a reunion ?
Ha! Well, I tell you, Ed. That’s probably the only proposition I’ve heard since I dropped out that actually sounds interesting enough to be worth the effort. 🙂
Am I part of this reunion thing?? Hahahaha, but seriously, we could have an apostrophe workshop. Yet another good name for a band, plural possessives. It is so good to hear/see this stuff
Feral apostrophe’s are allowed in the comment’s…
😉
you’re too cute! It is the teacher in me that riles at apostrophe abuse.
Thanks so much Paul! I appreciate this page so much!!
