McCoy Next Door

Since I still have no camera, I cannot quite bring to you the moments of my current days. Instead, I thought I would share something of the recent past. Since moving to Chapel Hill, M. and I have worried about the lack of arts and culture in small town life. Much to our pleasant surprise there is a lot of access, especially in conjunction with the university. In particular, memorial hall (pictured below) on campus brings some remarkable acts.

Tickets cost $10 for students (+1).  We have already been twice, most notably to see McCoy Tyner (again, below).

If you don't know who this man is, look him up and more importantly find some of his music to listen to. Of course, the performance was phenomenal, but the opportunity to see one of the jazz greats (he is former member of the John Coltrane Quartet), well....In the coming months we are looking forward to seeing Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis, the St. Petersburg Orchestra, and others. Not bad for a small southern town.
