Before I go too far into this column, I have to take just a minute to poke a little fun at myself.

You see, I am one of those people.

You know the kind of person I'm talking about: one who puts off procrastinating until he gets around to it.

Very often it is the reason that weeks go by with no column from me in The Moultrie News.

But the particular situation that I'm referring to in this instance is my last column that I turned in. I told you all about Guy Harvey and his art.

I described the restaurant/bar/gift shop that bore his name at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre and the live entertainment featured there.

With a feeling of satisfaction for a job well done, I happily hit the send button to submit my masterpiece of musical journalism to editor Sully Witte.

The following day while having lunch at Iacofano's, my lovely girlfriend, inquired as to my column for the week. I proudly described the amount of detail I worked into the piece about Guy Harvey's and how I was proud of a job well done.

Her response was, "You do know that Guy Harvey's closed at the end of June, right?"

So, never mind.

Chelsea<0x00A0>Lynn<0x00A0>LaBate spent years squatting in the attics and basements of NYC, honing her song-writing skills on the stages of Lower East Side and Brooklyn.

Her songs explore courage, human suffering, the caverns of the human imagination, displacement, and unexpected love.

Now based in Asheville, N.C., Chelsea tours and records as Ten Cent Poetry. I took a listen to some of the tracks from her debut release "Picking Through The Pawn Shop".

Deeply personal and intensely emotional lyrics are a trademark of her songwriting.

Often that tends to make songs cryptic for the listener, but in this case, her flair for vivid colorful imagery make these songs communicate in the common tongue of human emotion.

You can check out Ten Cent Poetry for yourself at www.TenCentPoetry.com but she will be appearing live at The Village Tavern on Friday, July 22.

Don't forget that every Wednesday it's the Awendaw Green Barn Jam. Located behind the Sewee Outpost on Highway 17 N in Awendaw, this weekly family friendly musical gathering highlights local and visiting artists.

The July 27 Barn Jam schedule is as follows: Jamison Alley, One Two Skidoo, Martha's Trouble and The Jonathan Robinson Trio.

For more information, go to: www.awendawgreen.com.

As for me, I'll be at The Charleston National Clubhouse this Friday night from 7-10 p.m. with my band Allnightkungfu.

We will be playing outside in the little gazebo by the pond. Come on out and hang with us.

Until next time, be nice to each other and support live music.
