And now for a little local culture. Saturday afternoon I attended a concert given by Philip Glass at the Bijou Theater on Gay Street. I liked his music before and I appreciate it even more after this live performance.
This was part of the Big Ears Music Festival produced by Ashely Capps. He is a local guy that built himself an empire with AC Entertainment and done very very well for himself. He started out 20 years ago with Ella Guru's in the Old City and went bankrupt. He started over, learned some lessons and has excelled. The Bonnaroo Festival is one of his productions. He is quite passionate about music. I really enjoyed his show "Unhinged" that was on WUOT-FM for several years. Here is an article from last week's Metro Pulse.
You can check out some samples at the iTunes Music Store. He has done many movie sound tracts many would recognize. Many believe that he is America's greatest living composer. I would have to agree.
