▲ ‘Live in the Lobby’ is a twice-weekly program featuring live musk.
WUOG spices up radio
with live bands, music
By ADAM CARLSON
The Red & Black
“Live in the Lobby” isn’t about music.
It’s about magic.
“Very rarely, I feel like, do you hear
30 minutes of music that’s being
played as you’re hearing it,” said
William Kennedy, WUOG’s local music
director, adding that the experience is,
well, magical.
The goal isn’t just to have bands
playing in real-time, but to capture
them in the moment, really playing.
Along with the usual sound equip
ment there’s even a PA. to more easily
accommodate any in-person listeners
all the better to blur, and even erase,
the on-the-radio feel.
“This is more like a live show, just
for you,” Kennedy said.
It’s also a part of the station’s pro
gramming that caught his attention
when Kennedy first heard of WUOG.
“I thought it was super rad.” he
said, adding the segment’s showcase of
local talent seemed, to him, completely
original.
Begun roughly 10 years ago, “Live in
the Lobby” was started with an
uncomplicated goal.
“It was created to showcase local
music,” Kennedy said.
Having worked his way up the orga
nizational hierarchy, Kennedy was then
put in charge of “Live in the Lobby”
this January.
Since, he’s consciously worked to
maintain its presence and legacy in the
music community.
The breadth of bands he books
hasn’t gone unnoticed.
“Just overall, the diversity of the
Athens music scene is nice to see,”
said Nakeem Pur kiss, a junior comput
er science major and one of two opera
tions directors for the station.
Early on, Kennedy found the seg
ment had painted itself into a sort-of
comer.
“I also wanted I also thought a
lot of the time we’d have the same
rock-sounding bands ... so I decided to
branch out,” he said.

In his 11 months overseeing the
show, Kennedy has booked a range of
performers: Haml stopped by recently,
as did the Modem Skirts; after much
effort, James Husband —a former of
Montreal member was even per
suaded to appear.
A few weeks ago. there was even an
“Experimental in the Lobby” featuring
ambient and experimental music.
“I wanted to go along the lines of
getting as many bands as I could,”
Kennedy said.
For their part, Kennedy said, bands
have always been receptive to appear
ing, and the mutual relationship
between the station and a wide range
of performers is part of what has made
“Live in the Lobby” so appealing.
The program is broadcast each
Tuesday and Thursday for a half hour
a day.
“I think people are surprised at the
diversity we have and are excited it’s
still going on," Kennedy said.
It’s become even easier to book
bands since WUOG changed homes,
moving from Memorial Hall to the
more acoustically-equipped Tate this
past year.
Now, when Kennedy —a local musi
cian himself and a downtown-frequent
er approaches performers, their
responses are all pretty uniformly affir
mative.
“And they’ve all loved it,” he said.
Part of it may be due to the
strength of the station’s sound produc
tion abilities; part of it, as well, might
be attributable to the more casual
“vibe” bands encounter there.
“Live in the Lobby” also provides an
on-air outlet with a built-in audience
for bands who’ve yet to break out.
“It’s a great launching point for any
musicians looking to break out in the
Athens music scene,” Purkiss said.

A full dinner table is not on the menu
for millions of Americans this
Thanksgiving, but fixing that is the goal of
one University student organization
through its Greek-Wide Food Drive.
Conscious Alliance is a non-profit orga
nization based in Colorado that lives the
slogan “Art That Feeds,” according to
University Conscious Alliance chapter
president Clint Meadows.
“Working with the Greek community
allows us to reach more people. Bins are
set up at the fraternities and sororities and
they can call us when they’re fUU,”
Meadows said. “We’ve already collected
more than 500 pounds so far.”
Established at the University in 2008,
Conscious Alliance has donated about
16,000 pounds of food to the Northeast
Georgia Food Bank.
According to Feeding America, a feder
ally fbnded organization connecting food
banks across the United States with funds
and food, about 42 million Americans suf
fer from food instability. That number is
set to grow as the effects of the economic
downturn continue to stress already strug
gling families and individuals.
The University’s chapter of Conscious
Alliance has teamed with the University’s
Greek community in its second annual
Greek-Wide Food Drive, conducted as a
part of Conscious Alliance’s national
Holiday Meal Drive. The food drive, which
began Oct. 25, lasts through Friday.
Participating sororities and fraternities
compete for the prize of concert band
and DJ provided by Conscious Alliance
by collecting canned foods and non-perish
able items.

There’s more to Italy
than pizza and pasta.
Tonight the Hodgson
Concert Hall plays host to
the Venice Baroque
Orchestra, featuring violin
ist and Georgia native
Robert McDuffie.
Stretching from the
Netherlands to
Birmingham, the world
premiere tour opens with
Vivaldi’s “The American
Four Seasons” and con
cludes with McDuffie’s solo
performance of Philip
Glass' “Violin Concerto No.
2.”
“Philip Glass is America’s
Vivaldi,” McDuffie said.
The legendary composer
began working on this
piece in August 2009 on
McDuffie’s request.
McDuffie mentioned
part of the reason he made
the request was to show off
Glass’ work.
The piece was finished
three months later.
The tour began last
December with the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra where
McDuffie premiered “The

GREEK-WIDE FOOD DRIVE
When: Ends Friday
Where: Participating fraternities and sororities
More Information: Donate non-perishable items at
participating Greek houses in support of Conscious
Alliance’s national Holiday Meal Drive
“We’ll accept any non-perishable items
not Ramen —and the more organic side
if you can,” Meadows said. “[Non-Greeks]
can still participate as well by dropping ofT
donations at a [participating] fraternity or
sorority.”
In 2009, Phi Gamma Delta FIJI
won the competition and Conscious
Alliance put on a concert at Last Call
downtown for the winners.
“We collected about 1,000 pounds of
food last year and our goal is the same this
time,” Meadows said. “But hitting 2,000
pounds wouldn’t be bad either.”
For the 2010 winner; Conscious Alliance
is looking to work with Last Call again or
with New Earth Music Hall.
“A lot of what we do involves concerts at
New Earth and the [Georgia] Theatre
when it was around,” Meadows said. “[The
Greek-Wide Pood Drive] is a great way for
us to reach out beyond the music commu
nity.”
Looking forward. Conscious Alliance will
continue to support the Northeast Georgia
Food Bank through volunteering, bake
sales, a silent auction and— announced
recently managing the food drive con
ducted at the G-Day game in the spring,
said Meadows.
“We’re more grassroots, small, not
HERO big,” Meadows said. “But we’re
appreciative of those who’ve donated and
those who will.”
Music Festival. “It’s cer
tainly not easy to sustain,
but a lot easier than it
was.”
The festival is held in the
16th-century Gonfalone
Oratory in Rome.
At least 10 students
from The Robert McDuffie
Center for Strings partici
pate in the festival each
year.
This institute for string
players is meant to encour
age students to pursue a
larger liberal arts degree.
The teachers are all
leaders of major American
symphonies, McDuffie said.
“Macon is known for
exporting musicians,” he
said.
McDuffie began playing
the violin in Macon at age
six.
He now plays a 1735
Guamerl del Gesu violin,
known as the “Ladenburg.”
It was also played by 19th
century virtuoso Nicold
Paganini.
He paid more than $3
million for it.
McDuffie said his favor
ite part about performing is
“getting in the zone, when
things are in slow motion.”
