"EKPHRASIS": A presentation to the mind's eye.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.courses.rochester.edu/kraus/Ekphrasis.htm
<<The Oxford Classical Dictionary, states that EKPHRASIS is, "an
extended and detailed literary description of any object, real or
imaginary". This allows EKPHRASIS to be ascribed to many different
images or real visuals that occur in life. Early rhetoricians
organized
this term into a rhetorical exercise, which was derived from
Aphthonius's Progymnasmata. Another description of the term comes
from
the teachers of ancient rhetoric. They defined it as, "a vivid
description intended to bring the subject before the mind's eye of
the
listener" ("EKPHRASIS"). In order to compose an ekphrastic piece, an
incredible amount of skill and rhetorical knowledge was needed. They
were the most advanced "graded preparatory exercises (progymnasmata)
designed to teach basic rhetorical skills to school boys"
("EKPHRASIS").>>

_EKPHRASIS and the Other_ by W. J. T. MITCHELL
http://www.rc.umd.edu/editions/shelley/medusa/mitchell.html
<<ANYONE who grew up in the age of radio will recall a popular comedy
duo called "Bob and Ray." One of their favorite bits was a scene in
which Bob would show Ray all the photographs of his summer vacation,
accompanying them with a deadpan commentary on the interesting places
and lovely scenery. Ray would usually respond with some comments on
the
quality of the pictures and their subject matter, and Bob would
invariably say at some point, as an aside to the audience, "I sure
wish
you folks out there in radioland could see these pictures." Perhaps
this
line sticks in my memory because it was such a rare break in the
intimacy of Bob and Ray's humor: they generally ignored their radio
listeners, or (more precisely) pretended as if the listener was
sitting
with them in the studio, so fully present to their conversation that
no
special acknowledgment was required. If one can imagine what it would
be
to wink knowingly at someone over the radio, one can understand the
humor of Bob and Ray. One can also, I think, begin to see something
of
the fascination in the problem of EKPHRASIS, the verbal
representation
of visual representation.
This fascination comes to us, I think, in three phases or moments
of
realization. The first might be called "EKPHRASTIC INDIFFERENCE," and
it
grows out of a commonsense perception that EKPHRASIS is impossible.
This
impossibility is articulated in all sorts of familiar assumptions
about
the inherent, essential properties of the various media and their
proper
or appropriate modes of perception. Bob and Ray's photographs can
never
be made visible over the radio. No amount of description, as Nelson
Goodman might put it, adds up to a depiction. A verbal representation
cannot represent--that is, make present--its object in the same way a
visual representation can. It may refer to an object, describe it,
invoke it, but it can never bring its visual presence before us in
the
way pictures do. Words can "cite," but never "sight" their objects.
EKPHRASIS, then, is a curiosity: it is the name of a minor and rather
obscure literary genre (poems which describe works of visual art) and
of
a more general topic (the verbal representation of visual
representation) that seems about as important as Bob and Ray's radio
photographs.
The minority and obscurity of EKPHRASIS has not, of course,
prevented
the formation of an enormous literature on the subject that traces it
back to the legendary "Shield of Achilles" in the Iliad , locates its
theoretical recognition in ancient poetics and rhetoric, and finds
instances of it in everything from oral narrative to postmodern
poetry.
This literature reflects a second phase of fascination with the topic
I
will call "EKPHRASTIC HOPE." This is the phase when the impossibility
of
EKPHRASIS is overcome in imagination or metaphor, when we discover a
"sense" in which language can do what so many writers have wanted it
to
do: "to make us see." This is the phase in which Bob and Ray's "radio
magic" takes effect, and we imagine in full detail the photographs we
hear slapping down on the studio table (Sometimes Bob would
acknowledge
this moment in a variation of his punchline: instead of a wish, an
expression of gratified desire-- "I'm sure glad you folks could look
at
these pictures with us today.") This is like that other moment in
radio
listening when the "thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver"
make
the giant white stallion with his masked rider gallop into the mind's
eye.
But the "still moment" of EKPHRASTIC hope quickly encounters a third
phase, which we might call "EKPHRASTIC FEAR." This is the moment of
resistance or counterdesire that occurs when we sense that the
difference between the verbal and visual representation might
collapse
and the figurative, imaginary desire of EKPHRASIS might be realized
literally and actually. This is the moment when we realize that Bob
and
Ray's "wish" that we could see the photographs would, if granted,
spoil
their whole game, the moment when we wish for the photographs to stay
invisible. It is the moment in aesthetics when the difference between
verbal and visual mediation becomes a moral, aesthetic imperative
rather
than (as in the first, "indifferent" phase of EKPHRASIS) a natural
fact
that can be relied on. The classic expression of EKPHRASTIC fear
occurs
in Lessing's Laocoon , where it is "prescribed as a law to all poets"
that "they should not regard the limitations of painting as beauties
in
their own art." For poets to "employ the same artistic machinery" as
the
painter would be to "convert a superior being into a doll." It would
make as much sense, argues Lessing, "as if a man, with the power and
privilege of speech, were to employ the signs which the mutes in a
Turkish seraglio had invented to supply the want of a voice.''>>

Spoken (thus far) like a trVe monkey having only five senses and
gibbering (with Korzybski) that "all words are ultimately defined by
other words."
The ten internal senses and eight laboratory transformations may
be experienced directly, and mapped by poetry as to which ones are
meant in a case.
So may the /memories/ of the other ("primary") five; this is
called "object correlation," and it is the /reader's memory/, not the
writer's described object, that is the "objective correlative."

This is the direct experience of the objective correlative.
On must remember that the correlative is the reader's, not the
writer's.
It is the moment when you realise that your imagination has whomped
up something quite different from the mundane object the writer was
referring to when he chose the words to describe it.
It is the moment when you realise that your belief in having been
shit on by the Holy Ghost's flapping through the room was the
flapping of the pages of a comic book -- the reader's comic book --
that the writer never even heard of and didn't care to.

Paintings have extremely limited grammar and logic sets, e.g., while
turning the fiction of personification into the solidity of a vidclip
on the six o'clock news.
When Venus woke to find Adonis "slain by the boar amid the
yew-trees," she merely woke up one day to discover him (relatively)
old and ugly "between" his resurrections as a pretty-boy.
And she Didn't Get It because /she/ never looks into a pond;
/being/ the definition of LUUUve, she never "needs" to /see/ what it is.
So Rodin showed her (the "heaulmiere").

This example, applied to poetry, obviates the inclusion of prose
chopped with carriage returns as being "poetry," since the /only/
thing to go missing in the case is the patterns of /sounds/ available
to speech.
(This includes any "song" too stupid to be "stated" (i.e.,
signed), for "anything too stupid to be said can be Zoorrrooooowed").

On July 18 2003 Albert Woolfolk was murdered. He was last seen alive at
Coach's Corner Sports Bar with two individuals on a Wednesday night, where
he was driven home in his car. Raken at the time of the killing were two art
pieces, one of which is "Two Setters" by the Belgian artist Dansardt, an
engraving from the early 1900s. Anyone seeing or knowing the location of
these art works please contact the CPD:

In [[2005]], [[Buffalo Rock]], an independent [[Pepsi-Cola]] bottler
based in [[Birmingham, Alabama]], came out with Dr. Wham, a [[Dr
Pepper]] clone. Dr. Wham is sold in Buffalo Rock markets where the
company does not have the territorial rights to sell Dr Pepper,
including markets such as [[Montgomery, Alabama]]; [[Columbus,
Georgia]]; and [[Pensacola, Florida]]. A complete listing of markets
that carry Dr. Wham is on the Buffalo Rock website.
Other [[soft drink]]s made by Buffalo Rock, which was founded in
[[1901]], include [[Buffalo Rock ginger ale]] and [[Grapico]]. Buffalo
Rock and Grapico are sold throughout [[Alabama]], parts of [[Georgia
(U.S. state)|Georgia]] and the panhandle of [[Florida]].

sometime after 11pm, since Henry had a fill-in gig at a hotel in
Opelika, Alabama for Riley Yeilding who's at the folk fesival in
Kerrville, Texas, we took the late show spot. Backed by Sam Phillips
on bass, Kerry Lowe on drums, Gene Woolfolk, Jr. on flute and Brent
Lindley joining Henry on guitars, we went through a few of the
standards, Twilight Girl, Wobble and others. After all this, before we
left, I said how about... and sang the chorus fragment that had just

Gene Woolfolk's house and wrote the song and another, Black and Blue

William Dockery's New Poems
''[[To The Magic Store]]'', just released by [[William Dockery]], is a
publication of modest proportions, consisting of a cover illustration
followed by seven pages of [[poetry]]. At that, there is something
aesthetically effective about this simple ''[[minicomic|minibook]]''
design. Having issued a series of similar books over the last several
years, the author undoubtedly has aquired a certain
[[proficicency]] with them.
It is probably a question, since one is not sure how else to explain
it, of /fitting/ or /filling/ - yet not overfilling - a book of this
size with an
appropriate amount of material, such that one might experience in it a
satisfying ampleness, notwithstanding the smallness of its format; at
the
same time expression must reach completion in the allotted number of
pages, and not leave the impression of gaving been aborted, or that
necessary
articulations were left out. Judicious resort to [[ellipsis]] may
indeed be helpful in this regard only providing it does not signify
impoverishment.
[Which is not the same thing, really.]
It is indicitive that the book proceeds at what seems, at once, a
comfortable, unhurried pace; at the same time it is more than the
negligible sort of labor which one might expect in the everyday course
of things to have done in fifteen minutes or so.
In style and temperment, William Dockery's poetry is a little like
that of [[John Berryman]] - cf., ''[[The Dreamsongs]]''. A basically
sensitive but slightly
discombobulated awareness wending its way through hazes of
intoxication; the neighborhood [[milieu]]. [''..when I was staying/ at
the boarding house/ across
from the park,/ I hated those bells/ and I hated that place./ At the
same time I loved it.''
In essence the theme is search for self.
Now, self, in the way in which a poet like William Dockery understands
it, is essentially a myth; in other words, a kind of story in which
self is
revealed and delinated to itself. In fact self cannot appear except
through the mediation of external places and people. But the important
thing is that
these must be interpreted as having transcendental implications which
might not be apparent at the level of [[quotidean]] experience. So
this is what is
meant by the poet entering his neighborhood or social milieu in search
of self.
[[Myth]] of origin [how self first learns to recognize itself]; golden
age, debacle. These are some of the typical mythic components in life.
To keep
this on a simple, general level. Of course much subtler comprehensions
are also possible. For example, a typical mythification involves a
division of
life into periods. When I lived on such-and-such street, life had a
certain quality; I had these experiences, was aquainted with these
people, et
cetera. Then I moved somewhere else and it wasn't the same; a period
of life came to an end. Thus life may be seen as a succession of /
periods/ of greater or shorter duration; each more or less
distinguished by objective referents [dates, addresses, names of
people], each revealing distinctive [[mythological]] demensions as
well.
In To The Magic Store the poet is viewing such a period
retrospectively. It is a [[Proustian]] /rememberance of things past/
in a way; things are remembered together with their psychological
associations, producing a sensation of
mythological awareness. [It is not necessary to spell it out with
elaborate detail. The point is simply to intuit how a set of
associated names and images creates the effect of milieu or era.]
Viewed retrospectively, there is of course an emphasis on
[[dissolution]]. People drift away, some die, and eventually the
milieu dissolves. The tone
of the book is predominantly one of loss and mourning. In one case
the poet later revisits one of his main friends - the ''speed junkie''
musician
Hugo - and finds ''he'd been burned in a terrible disaster,/ in a
wheelchair and speechless.''
With its emphasis on the downside of the cycle, To The Magic Store
corresponds [mythically speaking] with a decline and fall - maybe not
of a /golden age/, since more or less there is only one full-blown
golden age in a lifetime, but of some lesser epicycle which never the
less exhibits analogous phases of flourishing and decline.
Curiously enough, there is no ''magic store'' explicitly mentioned in
this book. Given the preoccupation with loss and mortality, a suitable
title might have been ''[[To The Cemetery]]''. Indeed, the climactic
verses tell of taking a girl to a graveyard - ''to see the grave of
the guy who died./ We sat there in this graveyard park,/ with a six-
pack of beer./ he looked fragile/ as she drunkenly cried./ She looked
open/ to my sensibility...''
But then, as the poem concludes:
:I can still remember
:her laughing at my poetry
:didn't feel so good to me
:after I'd been up all night
:pouring out my feelings.
:I thought she was interesting,
:she turned out
:she was just a little female fool.
:Was not able to put all the components
:of my life in place...
:my mythology was incomplete.
But the title might have a different and more [[Proustian]] meaning.
The mythology of self, unfulfilled in initial experience [where to be
sure such mythologies inevitably represent inconclusive aspirations],
might be prolonged through acts of memory; where by poetic ''magic''
they may be perfected and ternalized - notwithstanding their
preliminary frustration in mere circumstances.
Perhaps this might shed some light on the [[mystic]] quality of a poem
like [[The Ballad of James Collier]]. A line like ''I hope some of
them are left'' is perhaps best taken at face value, that is, in its
natural sense. Other parts of the poem allude to ghostly reunions -
perhaps in some [[transcendental]] world where the past continues as a
permanent reality - ''In tiny detail.'' -[[Rick Howe]], [[Topical
Studies]] #5, [[January 1 1993]]. Used by permission.

Anyway, since you seem so fascinated with me, here's the current
project of developing the [[Columbus, Georgia]] section at www.wikinfo.org
-
http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/John_Woolfolk
{{SS}}
{{Criticism}}
John Woolfolk, a [[Virginia]]n, sent his nephew, [[Sowell Woolfolk]],
on ahead of him from [[Augusta, Georgia]] to select lands around
[[Columbus, Georgia]] in [[1828]] and to bring his [[slave]]s and
locate them. This had been done in [[plantations]] on [[Upatoi
Creek]] and on both sides of the [[Chattahoochie river]], including
[[Woolfolk's Bend]] and [[Jenny's Island]]. These were the lands
which John Woolfolk bequeathed to his sons and daughters in his will
made [[April 29, 1861]], in which he also "willed and desired" that
his slaves be divided among his five heirs, and that in no case should
families be seperated. (note: [[Woolfolk plantation]] had up to 700
slaves) A part of these lands became the headquarters of the military
post, [[Fort Benning]].
To his daughter, Mrs. [[Cornelia Walker]], John Woolfolk willed his
handsome home, which is still standing and is perhaps the oldest one
in [[Wynnton]]. The house was also of stately [[Greek Revival]]
architecture with tall columns on three sides and iron-work balcony.
It was located on a vast surburban estate, which currently falls
between [[Wynnton Road]] to the south, and [[13th Street]] to the
north, in present-day Columbus, Georgia.
John Woolfolk passed away in May, 1861, just after the [[American
Civil War]] started, and the provisions of his will were carried out.
Before his death, he sold to [[Joel Early Hurt]], the tract where the
house "[[Dinglewood]]" stood, which is in what we now call
[[Dinglewood Circle]]. This has nothing to do with where [[Dinglewood
Pharmacy]] now exists, which is where [[lunch counter]] is located
that the [[scrambled hot dog]] is claimed to have been created.
Originally his so-called extensive lot in Wynnton was
<blockquote>Bounded on the East by a line run along the line of Mrs.
[[Flournoy]]'s lot to G. [[DeLaunay]]'s line, then West along said
line to a little ditch, then along said ditch to the little creek,
then down said creek to my line and then along said line to the main
road at the foot of [[Wynn's Hill]]. In other words, the huge Woolfolk
estate extended from Wynnton, North to the present [[DeLaunay Place]]
and on the East to [[Weracoba Creeek]], due West to the foot of Wynn's
Hill. On the South there was the main road. The land on where the
house sets was deeded from [[Permadus Reynolds]] to John Woolfolk
April 4, 1832.]].</blockquote>
[[Joseph Washington Woolfolk]], one of the sons of John Woolfolk to
whom plantation lands on the river had been left, was killed
accidentally a few years after his father's death, while guarding the
railroad bridge over [[Flint River]] towards the end of the Civil War.
The town of Columbus had been greatly shocked by the death of one of
her most promising young citizens, General [[Sowell Woolfolk]], in
1832. General Woolfolk, the year before, had served as [[Intendant]],
and was even then State [[Senator]], at the age of thirty-two. He was
killed in a duel at [[Fort Mitchell, Alabama]] by Major [[Joseph T.
Camp]], also a popular man and a talented lawyer. The difficulty
having begun in [[Milledgeville, Geogia]] the [[State Capitol]]. The
reservation at Fort Mitchell was on [[Federal]] ground, and many of
the quarrels and difficulties between gentlemen in those days, mainly
political, which became a point of honor with them, to settle with
pistols, were so settled across the Chattahoochee in Alabama.
General Woolfolk, who had just been made a [[Brigadier General]] by
the [[State Legislature]], was one of the first settlers in Columbus.
He held the confidence and respect of the whole community, and was
greatly bemoaned. The day after the duel, when his remains were
brought into town, they were followed by the greatest concourse of
friends, acquaintances and fellow-citizens ever seen on a similar
occasion.
Writing about the event, the [[Columbus Enquirer]]
said:<blockquote>"In recording this melancholy occurrence, humanity
shudders at the reflection that the talents, worth and chivalry of our
country should be subject to such a barbarous custom....General
Woolfolk was a warm, devoted friend, a kind and affectionate brother,
a tenderand indulgant husband and father, the idol of his family, and
occupied a high position in the influence of his fellow citizens."</
blockquote>
General Woolfolk was a nephew of Colonel John Woolfolk, also prominent
in the affairs of Columbus at this time. He preceeded his uncle to
Columbus. The tragic affair happened in January, and was only one of
a number of duels between prominent Georgians fought at Fort
Mitchell. The next year Major Camp was killed as the result of a
political feud with Colonel [[John Milton]], as the [[Columbus
Enquirer]] reported on [[August 17 1833]] [http://www.usgennet.org/usa/

I would like to thank all of you who helped Make the Fur Fly by
reposting the Alert on their stolen truck and equipment. Yesterday, in
Atlanta, the police arrested an individual driving the stolen truck.
At this time, the Atlanta Police has refrained from letting Make the
Fur Fly aware if any of their stolen equipment has been recovered.
There is a benefit tonight to help raise money for Make the Fur Fly so
they can replace the stolen equipment. These guys played to one of the
largest turnouts ever at Soho a few weeks ago.
Just reminding everyone of the benefit party to assist Make The Fur
Fly who have fallen victim to some gear theft this week.
Members of Spy For Hire and Make The Fur Fly will be joining for a
special performance tonight at 1202 18th Av. (Parking next to Wendys
on Wynton) Starts at 7 and the live music will be done by 10 or 11 so
get there early. If you can't however, you should still come hang. No
cover, but anything that you would like to donate to MTFF would surely
be appreciated.
See ya there.

Re the new thread title:
Not that I disagree, but there's a point of poetic useage involved.
In what way is "Twitching Goober" a refinement of identification or

Isn't it actually redundant?

It was essentially unreadable here as well.
To my (admittedly ancient) newreader, it's filled with a series of
characters that are apparently its literal translations for some
special character it doesn't recognize. Maybe the "equal sign/Capital
A/Zero/space" is an odd space, or tab, or something else, but it's all
over the place. But when quoted back to the originator, HIS reader
probably re-translates it back to the original and so it looks fine to
him.
In the part I quote above, after "This is the wait" there are fifteen
"equal sign/Capital A/Zero/space" quads before we get to "the weight
of the world" and it's like that throughout the entire set of lyrics.
The originator might want to check to see that his program is set to
post things in simple ASCII to strip out all the special characters.
(As a side note, this is similar to a problem I've seen with several
programs for Macintosh computers. Those Mac programs use an odd
carriage return that shows up as a series of odd characters on non-Mac
computers. But I don't see him needing 15 consecutive CRs after "This
is the wait" so I don't think that's the problem here.)
Again, interesting that this happens, as well as unfortunate, though when I
check it on Google Groups, where I first posted it, and now here, in Outlook
Express, it comes out fine in both:

I see your point, Mr Hammes, and now that I think about it,
I've never known a goober that didn't twitch.
Dammit! "Gobber" was a much-too-much-in-a-hurry misspell.
To Goober, I do apologize for that and have corrected it.

And curiously enough, this version came through WITHOUT all those
garbage characters. I haven't changed any settings on my newsreader,
did you do something different in how you posted it?
The other curiousity is that the "equalsign/Capital A/Zero/Space" is
apparently just a space in your lyrics - but the standard single
spaces between words came through as single spaces. It was just in
the places where you had large numbers of spaces in a row that they
became those garbage characters. It's sort of as if instead of having
a set of <space> <space> etc. it was <space> <repeat last character>
<repeat...> and it was the <repeat last character> that showed up as
equalsign/etc.
This might happen, I guess, if instead of typing each space separately
the space bar was held down and the program had to decide "OK, the bar
has been held down long enough, he wants another one".
And for the version without the garbage - that is a quote using the
same program that posted it, is it not? Perhaps when it READS the
<repeat same character> instruction it knows to actually just PRESENT
the repeated character (as if it had been manually typed)? I'm just
guessing, here. This is not my area of expertise.
So whether it was an odd character set or just what I don't know - but
if you want your lyrics to be readable by the largest group of people
it helps to post in the lowest common denominator (ASCII or "text").

Hmmmm.... someone else has much the same thing going here:

The equalsign92 is obviously apostrophe, and it looks like multiple
spaces are again giving that equalsignA0. But at least here the limit
was two, not too difficult to read.
The keyboard encoder chip used to do that, and so does WinDoze (you
can set delay and rate), but the instructions to repeat are not part
of any typing program and do not appear as any part of the text file.
which sees only a series of plain spaces (ASCII 020h).
He's more probably using a "hard" or em space in a desperate attempt
to make the chords come out over the words, and most newsreaders hate
those "special" ANSI (not ASCII) characters, variously translating
them back into those arcane "=92" or "&@130" entries.
Not only will newsreaders do that to "quoted text," thus sending it
back out garbled for you to read at second hand, several community
news servers (such as but not necessarily Yahoo!, or Google Groups,
which deletes TABs, e.g.) will do the same thing.
If Willie would use plain spaces (ASCII 20h) and a newsreader that did
not delete multiple spaces (DejaNews and InterNet Exploder used to be
good at that), and understood that if he and the reader used a /fixed-
width font/, the characters would appear where he put them.
I read in a proportional font and compose in fixed (when I'm not
using Google Groups because my news server appears to be on the Mars
Mission, again) for the speed of the first and the accuracy of the
second. If somebody sends space-formatted text, or ASCII art, all I
hafta to do is punch the "Reply" button to see the thing in fixed-
width font (in the composition window). (Google is displaying both in
proportional, as its composition window is part of its web page, not
of my composer.)
Lacking any of that, copy the offending text and paste it into
something like WordPad (or the Mac equivalent) set for a fixed-width
font.
Another common problem arises when the text has been quoted several
times, which causes a quote character (usually the >, as here) to be
inserted at the head of each line. This causes the line-length
limiter of the /quoting/ composer to break some lines (those one
character too long) while not breaking others. It is evident that
that has already happened to Mr. Dockery's chord notations.
But we've seen his stuff all too often, and the usual explanation is
simply that he tried to get too damned clever in his attempts to
format his dribble to look "professional."

No, I just copy-pasted it as it appears from my view.

Yes, I /responded/ to the original post to see if it put out the strange
symbols then, and copy-pasted /that/ to see how it would appear to you.
Here's a copy-paste of what Google says is the ''original post'' -
Twilight Girl
Does this still come out weird for you?

Yes, and if the text posted above comes through with no problems for you,
then it looks like I'll be able to avoid this problem in the future...
thanks for the input.

them back into those arcane "=92" or "&@130" entries.
Not only will newsreaders do that to "quoted text," thus sending it
back out garbled for you to read at second hand, several community
news servers (such as but not necessarily Yahoo!, or Google Groups,
which deletes TABs, e.g.) will do the same thing.
And here's a new oddity, where your reply isn't /quoting/.
If Willie would use plain spaces (ASCII 20h) and a newsreader that did
not delete multiple spaces (DejaNews and InterNet Exploder used to be
good at that), and understood that if he and the reader used a /fixed-
width font/, the characters would appear where he put them.
Since the text and chords appear where they should be on both Google Groups
and Outlook Express, I assume the problem is with individual newsreaders and
not with the source.
Another common problem arises when the text has been quoted several
times, which causes a quote character (usually the >, as here) to be
inserted at the head of each line. This causes the line-length
limiter of the /quoting/ composer to break some lines (those one
character too long) while not breaking others. It is evident that
that has already happened to Mr. Dockery's chord notations.
Well, that's a given when posting and replying on Usenet.

[[Image:Black and Blue Night.jpg?|thumb|right|300px|[[Henry F. Conley]] and
[[Will Dockery]] performing at Pat's Place in Americus, Georgia.]]
''Pat's Place'' is a [[pizzeria]] and [[pub]] in [[Americus, Georgia]]. The
location on [[South Lee Street]] was once the town of [[Leeton, Georgia]]
which was chartered away from Americus in 1872 and named after the
[[American Civil War]] General [[Robert E. Lee]]. Then Leeton reincorporated
into Americus in 1885, keeping the name Leeton for years afterward. In 1888,
the [[United States Army]] used lot where Pat’s Place is now for a [[camp]]
during the [[Spanish-American War]]. In 1969, an electronics store was built
on the lot, followed by businesses called ''[[The Yellow Submarine]]'' and
''[[The Crust and Mug]]''. In 1980 history took over again when [[Pat
Spann]] and his wife Judy bought the building and opened Pat’s Place that
February.
It has become a favorite spot in later years as a [[music venue]], and
around the turn of the century hosted a nationally noted [[poetry slam]]
series.
<blockquote>They both seem like wonderful people, and outside of my mother I
’ve never seen a better host than Pat, who was dining at his place with his
extended family, and rarely sat for more than 5 minutes, getting up to take
care of them and the rest of the patrons, making sure drinks were full and
smiles were present. - from

The Dockery-Conley Show, July 2008 at The Loft in Columbus, Georgia. Henry
Conley, Dan Skinner, John Phillips, Will Dockery, Rick Edwards, Gene-0
Woolfolk, Dan Davidson, Sam Phillips, Riley Yielding performing Truck Stop
Woman.
Next week, less us do it again, where we'll have the new song stage-ready,
written over at Gene-0 Woolfolk's immediately after the Loft set, Cheshire
Bridge Road...
Truck Stop Woman
With a clown like you, it's always a train wreck.
That's a different poem.
Bibb City Ramblers wrote ---
''...Frogtown Festival
Body: The festival was wonderfull, a very good crowd and a beautiful
festival area. We had a great time and thanks to all our friends and fans,
we had a heck of a turn out to see Bibb City Ramblers as well a great crowd
for the whole thing. Columbus Georgia needs more festivals and musical
happenings on the acoustic side of the coin, for those local that didn't
come, come to the next one, because this one was a HOOT. Thanks to Packway
Handle band they did a dynamite job as well as Blue Harvest and Pilgrimmage
Band. Again thanks for coming out. See ya soon...''
Yawzah, the Lake Pines compound gives a flavor of like Woodie's Roadhouse of
the bygone era with the accessability of being just right here on the Macon
Road. I say less us talk about what Guvnah Dan was pronouncing on the
balcony of the Loft last week to me, Henry and Gene-0, perhaps see about
getting a revue of related groups, say BCR and the Dockery-Conley
conglomeration, along with a couple more interested players, say perhaps
Katt Red Band and someone reading this that might want to step up to the
plate, and lessus get a Fall Freedom Fest going... me and Conley will have
our decades in the making album ready by then, and we hope to have a
month-long CD release party, after all... how many more survivors of
Woodie's might be out there... anyone else reading this that might be
interested in joining what Allen Ginsberg called ''A Unified Front'', chime
on in here, because as God said, Shadowville was made for me and you...

There once was a Dockery who sucked
And did so with men in trucks.
But then one day
He withered a way
Ah, what terrible luck.
Ah, so you do write poetry, after all... a definite Hammesian
influence.
Sorry we missed most of y'all last night at The Loft, we made the
debut of two new ones with the stripped down ensemble of Conley,
Woolfolk, Yielding and myself, ''Cheshire Bridge Road'' and ''Falling
From Grace'', which was written with Riley Yielding at his ranch
Tuesdaymorning... an audio file exists of that, and is apparently
forthcoming... later, two new ones, ''Deskclerk at Courtyard'' and
''Pistolshots on Buford Highway'', were completed with Henry and
Gene-0. Those will get an airing next week at one of the open venues.
Cheshire Bridge Road
Early Sunday morning walking with you on Chershire Bridge Road
passing sound of radio.
Gee, I think it'd be nice to have a couple of cups of coffee with you
and watch morning come.
Walking on Cheshire Bridge Road early Sunday morning with you
barefoot in the dew.
Sunlight burns away until the fog is gone
and brings in the dawn.
Every time I see your face
it reminds me of music.
Every time I see your face
across that bar.
Early Sunday morning walking with you down Cheshire Bridge Road
passing sound of radio.
Still would like to have a couple of cups of coffee with you
and watch morning come.

think you're a horrible person and a poor excuse for a human being?
"Yes."
Don't worry - no one else did. Mainly because no one else gave a shit.
No, I never accused you of /thinking/... heh.

You should be arrested for Internet terrorism for posting shit like that.
Geez...do you realize how many people you could theorhetically sicken using
this medium? Cyberterrorist.
And what the hell is with that crap anyway? It sounded like you were playing
the world's stupidest game of bingo.
So we opted for black

I liked those changes also... thanks for commenting.

You're a clueless moron, Duckery.
I won't since I corrected it.
You should. Your posts can legally make you a cyberterrorist. I'm calling
the FBI.
Your biggest fantasy figure... ''we know''.
a loser and sounding like the world's worst bingo game ever. Fuckin'
dumbass.

Those weren't words. Those were abominations. Usually when someone writes
horrible shit like that, they're on drugs.
What's remarkable in Bockery's case is that the drugs are still
effective after the original user has taken a piss.
