Exclamation Please help me with my project!

I am working on a project for school. It is kind of big, keep in mind, so I need a broad topic. Anyone think of any GEORGIA-RELATED bass or music things? It has to be related to Georgia, the state, not the country. I want to relate to the bass! HELP!

Some great rythmn and blues singers are from Georgia. I think one is Otis Redding. Anyway, so many have come form Georgia that Macon, GA has the Hall of Fame for R&B singers.

James Brown is from Ga. What about Ray Charles? He wrote the achingly beautiful "Georgia on My Mind."

There have been some other notable groups from GA. The B-52s. Also, don't forget that R.E.M., including their bassist, is from GA.

Didn't Krunk develop in Atlanta?

There are other notables, but I can't think of them all right now. Wish I could help you more.

Collective Soul and the Allman Brothers Band, also. Might want to check out www.gamusichall.com for the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

Bill Berry, although not in the band anymore was from Duluth, MN...i was going to say Georgia Satillites as well, as the state is right in the title

Is "Marching Through Georgia" still a taboo song in those parts?

I tried google, FYI. I now officially hate google. It wanted to sell me a bass, a bass from georgia, but none the less it wanted to sell me something. WHY DOES GOOGLE TRY TO DO SUCH THINGS?

Peace.

OK - here's the plan - make a recording of all of the 52s songs played backward on your bass. That way, you'll reveal the satanic messages.

I had a friend who did that with a whole mess of songs. Try playing the actual whole song, "Play that Funky Music White Boy" backwards. You better believe in Heaven And Hell.
