Ah. It’s good to finally be back to some sense of normality. Sure, I’m still not in a permanent place yet but at least I’m in Athens for a very, very long time. As UGA kicks back into gear, so does most of Athens. Here’s what’s been going on lately.

David Barbe is taking over the UGA Music Business Program and now it looks as though other positions are being filled as well. As to who is getting hired to be Barbe’s right hand man, I have no clue. But things are shaping up pretty well for the program. Let’s hope they continue that way.
