Is it in this building? Yes, despite the "Office Building Parking Only" signs, the Morris Museum of…read moreArt is on the second floor of this otherwise boring office building in downtown Augusta. I don't know about parking. Mrs. K. and I found ourselves lingering longest in the glass gallery, where the craftsmanship becomes almost hypnotic the more you study it. Some pieces feel impossibly delicate, others bold and architectural, and tucked among them was the one name I recognized immediately, Dale Chihuly, whose museum we last wandered through in Seattle. Seeing his work here, in a completely different context, gave the whole collection a sense of continuity across regions and styles, almost like running into an old friend in a new city. Beyond the glass, the museum opens into a thoughtful survey of Southern art that moves easily from landscapes to portraits to sculpture and even furniture, each room offering a slightly different rhythm. The landscapes in particular have that quiet, atmospheric quality Augusta does so well, while the portraits feel intimate without being fussy. Sculptural pieces and period furnishings round things out, giving the galleries a sense of depth and texture rather than a single through‑line. It's the kind of museum where two hours pass without you noticing, and you walk out feeling like you've had a conversation with the region rather than just looked at objects on walls.

Add to that a bartender that never forgets anything and awesome music...what more could you want. That's right, Thursday nights include an awesome open mic. Lots of local artists and some visitors (I met a performing couple from Virginia) show up to entertain us all. You're sure to hear songs that you know and love as some of the musicians play acoustically and some with driving electric tones. Don't forget to visit the restrooms upstairs. The men's room is interesting and quite tight but nicely appointed down to the guitar-shaped mirror. I hope to see you there!

In addition to stellar performances, the scene changes, from the home setting to the courtroom were a symphony of motion and deserving of applause in themselves. Owner Krys Bailey's introduction warning, that we may not be able to return to our seats easily if we needed to attend to a bodily call as we would be competing with cast members congregating in the lobby, was representative of the "down home" feel of Le Chat Noir. We have been long time subscription holders and have enjoyed and appreciated the play and musical selections, the set design, casting, the creative interpretation of the script and the intimate feeling of the theater. There is no poor seat. You will not be disappointed with a visit to le Chat Noir.

JAZZ LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE!…read more This jazz band is so phenomenal that they deserve their own Yelp page! The Mike Frost band is located in Aiken, SC, but I had the pleasure of seeing them perform in Augusta at the Commons. This is the type of music that you hear in the distance and immediately start looking around for the source because there just has to be a professional recording being played. Not so! The sounds I heard as I approached the venue were live and that angelic voice was non other that Lauren Meccia the lead vocalist. Lauren is extremely talented as a vocalist and an instrumentalist as she played the soprano, tenor and alto sax. Equally talented members included Mike Frost, bassist and others that I simply cannot name. Their music combines elements of funk, rock and R&B and is what I refer to as "feel good" music. You will definitely recognize much of the music and find yourself tapping your toes, clapping and singing along. I was so impressed with this band that I found myself just mumbling throughout the performance about how unbelievable they were. I was sitting there listening but not exactly believing what I was hearing. Wow! What a gift! I am so pleased that they have chosen to remain in the local area so that I could have an opportunity to see them. I could absolutely see them on an international stage. They are that good! This is the band that you hire for any special occasion but especially your wedding, formal dinner party or any "after five" affair. Beautiful just beautiful!

Lauren Meccia is not only a very talented vocalist, but an amazing saxophonist. She could've been Grover Washington Jr. when she did her spot-on rendition of Take Five.
