and the rhythmic pounding o dancing eet.

allahassee doesnt have the reputation o being an artsy

wn, but it is. Everybody knows this town is chock ull

politicians, lobbyists and bureaucrats. Less evident at

st glance is the other allahassee: a place crawling with

usicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, photographers,

oreographers, lmmakers, actors, and writers.You might go to a coee shop and nd yoursel sitting

wo tables down rom a Pulitzer Prize winner or the woman

ho wrote the guest column you read last week in Te New

indow and recognize the voice as one youve heard on

ational Public Radio.

Te man picked in a nationwide search to write the

test sequel to Te Godfather, Mark Winegardner, lives in

allahassee. So does the icon o the 970s unk movement,

George Clinton, ounder o Par liament Funkadelic. He tours

all over the world, but he lives and creates here.

You might stop in to see a jazz saxophone player rom

one o the universities play or ree, and the next summer

youll notice hes touring with the Count Basie Orchestra.

Soul singer Patti LaBelle came here or a concert, asked or

a volunteer to come up and sing on stage, and let with a

new backup singer rom allahassee.

You might catch the great American jazz pianist, MarcusRoberts, playing in allahassee the night beore he plays in

Carnegie Hall. Roberts studied music at Florida State in the

980s beore he joined up with New Orleans jazz master

Wynton Marsalis. Roberts lives here now. Hes teaching at

Florida State.

It is hard to say what draws artists to such an outo

But something else keeps artists coming back here. Even

ater theyve let or the big cities,

they oten come back. We even

have a name or it: Te allahassee

It is possible to live here

Te music was perect, and there was indeed some beautiulpoetry, plus an open mic or those wishing to read their avorite pieces. Ithought o the lm Four Weddings and a Funeralin which someone readsrom W. H. Audens poem, Stop All the Clocks. You are my north, south,east, and westI was inspired though not enough to get up and quotethe poem mysel. Aterwards I actually wished that I had done it, but hadto be content quoting it to Ruth on the way home.

In March I tagged along to Tomasville or the Pig Gig, where everyonegoes hog wild.I had heard o gator gigging, but not a pig gig. I was aboutto be educated. Te Deep South Fairgrounds ll up with party revelers.Naturally theres a giant barbeque, but theres also arts and crats, music,and danceajig down home un. Id heard o pigs being slopped, turnedinto bacon, and even used as pets, but these pigs dont know just howpopular they are!

Tere was the time that Ruth talked me into going to the MonarchButtery Festival in St. Marks. My rst instinct told me to buy a net ona stick; I had obviously seen too many o those old movies where theintellectual Victorian society gentlemen runs around the orest with aloyal emale o equal cultural breeding, looking or some lost species obuttery. But nothing could be urther rom the actual event! By the endo the day, ater seeing the exhibits, hearing tips on buttery gardening,and learning about their migrations, I was ready to ollow them o intothe wilderness. Who knew?

Yes, Ruthie has slowly trained me to just accept that I will be surprisedand amazed at the interesting array o events available in our area. WormGruntinwas destined to be another surprise. Tis allday aair eatured

with lots o live music, ood (what else?), theWakulla Country Horseshoe Championship,and nally, the Worm Grunters Ball with thecrowning o the Worm Monarch. (Tey sayMonarchbecause it could be either a manor a woman.)

Oh yes, did I mention that there wasgenuine worm gruntin? Tey actually do itand demonstrate it. Gruntinturns out to bea devious way to get the worms out o theground. You place one goodsized stick intothe dirt, then rub another at stick across thetop o the rst one. Te resulting vibrationsdrive the worms to the surace. Really! Youhave to see it to believe it.

So you see, without the prouddemonstrations o variety in our area notto mention my riend Ruth egging me on Iwould have never known about any o thesethings. I am enriched by it in ways I cant

describe, and I eel closer and more a part omy community than ever beore.I urge you to get in touch with your inner

worm. Be on a irst name basis with theMonarch buttery o your dreams. Or gowrangle a rattlesnake. Whether its the FloridaArican Dance Festival, the GoodwoodAntiques and reasures Show, or the SwampStomp, just get out there, stick a stick in theground and rub it or worms. Youll probablysee me standing right next to you, taking it allin. Who knew?

te: Tis years Worm Gruntin Festival is April 9th.
