Description
An account of the resource
The First Person Project was launched by the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies in 2012 to record and preserve stories of life in post-twentieth century Georgia. Modeled roughly on StoryCorps, the First Person Project is smaller in scale but similar in concept--an oral history program designed to capture the stories of everyday Georgians. Interviewees are self-selecting. Pairs of friends or loved ones register to participate in the First Person Project on a designated day, and the conversation (up to forty minutes) is facilitated and recorded by Russell archivists. <br /><br />The First Person Project collects personal narratives and oral histories documenting life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Interviews are usually between two friends or family members and typically focus on personal stories such as relationships and family histories. Interviews also touch on larger historical and cultural themes such as racial identity, religion, environmental history, gay rights, the death penalty, and life in Athens and in Georgia.<br /><br />The First Person is divided into five series. <br /><a href="https://georgiaoralhistory.libs.uga.edu/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=58&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=I.+Georgia+Narratives">I.

Hendershot discusses moving to Athens in 1998 from Nome, Alaska because his band's contract had ended and his girlfriend was a student at the University of Georgia. He explains his perspective on the music scene as skewed since he was playing jazz and jam-rock and stuck to that music scene, instead of the indie rock scene that dominated Athens at the time. He talks about the beginnings of the post-R.E.M. indie rock scene in Athens which started when Jittery Joe's opened in 1994. Hendershot describes a shift of focus at the music venues in Athens from a bar that happens to have a band playing to bars/venues that have an actual listening experience. Brew Pub ; Elephant 6 Recording Company ; Elf Power ; Georgia Theater ; Neutral Milk Hotel ; R.E.M. 387 Late 1990's Jazz Scene Talk a little bit about jazz back in the early years of you living here. Hendershot lists the influential jazz musicians, who were being taught by Steve Dancz and Tony McCutchen at the University of Georgia, in late 1990's Athens. He describes them as great players, who were young, hungry, and excited. Hendershot explains that the jazz scene went away because of the venues, but it is making a return. He talks about the different venues he went to in order to listen to Jazz in the late 1990's and early 2000's. He discusses being indirectly taught by Steve Dancz because even though he didn't go college or know him, his friends were teaching him things they were learning from Dr. Dancz. Hendershot talks about how passionate Steve Dancz was about jazz and how he projected that onto his students. Big Band ; Boar's Head ; Carl Lindberg ; Carlton Owens ; Carter McMullen ; Darren Stanley ; Dwayne Holloway ; High Hat Club ; John James ; Melting Point ; Porterhouse Grill ; The Winery ; Tommy Sommerville ; Tony McCutchen ; Trey Wright 668 Athens Jazz Artists I'm going to throw out some names now. Hendershot lists many names from the jazz scene in Athens. He describes a shift in perspective when Killick, also known as Erik Hines, brought a couple of jazz players down from Chicago. This opened the minds of Athens jazz artists to new perspectives and approaches to their music. Hendershot discusses Squat, which was a local Athens jazz quartet. They were filling up venues, like the Georgia Theater, by playing original compositions that everyone enjoyed. They also played with other local bands, like Hendershot's Fuzzy Sprouts, even if they weren't a jazz band. He describes one Halloween show that Squat did, where they dressed up and how that describes their goofy approach. Hendershot talks about where many of the jazz artists are today. He and Carl Lindberg play in a band, called the Old School Trio. Carl also runs the Latin ensemble, Grogus, which introduced a resurgence of Latin music to Athens. Carl Lindberg ; Carlton Owens ; Carter McMullen ; Dave Rempis ; Dwayne Holloway ; Erik Hinds ; Gary Hartle ; Grogus ; Hamid Drake ; Ken Vandermark ; Kent Kessler ; Killick Hinds ; Old School Trio ; Tommy Sommerville ; Trey Wright 942 Drumming/Moving to Gwinnett County You, uh, are a drummer... Hendershot talks about knowing that music was going to be a big part of his life from a young age. He started taking drum lessons when he moved from New Jersey to Georgia as a consolation for being away from his friends. He talks about feeling comfortable playing drums, how his temperament and personality drew him to drumming, and how drumming is undervalued for making a song work. Hendershot discusses his family's move to Lawrenceville, Georgia. At the time, Gwinnett County was attracting people to move there by having affordable housing and low property tax. He mentions the recent population growth of Gwinnett County and how different cultures have settled there. 1989 ; Gwinnett County ; New Jersey 1141 Teaching Percussion/Translating Music to Business So, you played, uh, percussion presumably in high school. Hendershot lists all the different types of bands that he played in while in high school. He talks about marching percussion becoming a big part of his life and how he became a drumming instructor. His high school drum teacher allowed him to come teach the marching part of the drum lessons once he was good enough. Hendershot discusses his music career shortly after high school. He taught private lessons, high school percussion, and at an independent indoor percussion ensemble. He talks about learning a lot about musicianship and what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself from his time in the ensemble. Hendershot explains how being a drummer in a combo setting translates to the business world. Jazz Band ; Marching Band ; Marching Percussion ; Pep Band ; Spirit of Atlanta ; Symphonic Band 1365 Experience with Coffee As we speak, you are the owner and manager of a place... Hendershot explains how he started working with coffee in 1995. Hendershot discusses Starbucks and their influence on educating people, especially in the Atlanta suburbs, about gourmet coffee and using coffee shops as a social place for hangouts, dates, and business meetings. Hendershot worked as a barista for 4 years because they were flexible and allowed him to miss months at a time on tour. Once he moved to Athens, he got a job at Jittery Joe's coffee shop and has been with Jittery Joe's since 1998. He explains he wanted to incorporate coffee, a bar, and music when he was opening his own coffee shop, Hendershot's. Hendershot discusses his experience with the Tasting Room, which is a roasting warehouse for Jittery Joe's. Hendershot explains how Charlie Mustard set up a coffee shop inside the Tasting Room that he would eventually take over in 2009. 1995 ; Boutique Coffee Shop ; Broad St ; Gwinnett County ; Roasting ; Starbucks 1695 Hendershot's When did you think yes it might be possible... Hendershot talks about having the idea of opening up Hendershot's since early 2000 and how he thought it was a cool idea to marry coffee, a bar, and a music venue. He discusses that he wanted a place that could offer something to everyone and could be open from six in the morning till twelve or one the next morning. He talks about his choice to locate Hendershot's on Oglethorpe rd. by the loops instead of somewhere near or in downtown Athens. He describes the old service gas station from the 60's that became Hendershot's and the unique characteristics that drew him to that building. Since his lease was running out at the time of the interview, Hendershot talks about looking for a new building but wanting to maintain the integrity that the service station established by moving into an old building and renovating it instead of building a new location. 60's Architecture ; Business Plan ; Oglethorpe Rd. ; Pat Brusack ; Ranch House Oral History No transcript.

Vernon Thornsberry remembers growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana. He mentions his cousin, singer Lee Dorsey, who was his main musical influence in his family. While in elementary school, he attempted learning trumpet, but was told he could not play. Because he wasn't able to learn, he continued to paint at home.

Thornsberry, while working in the French Quarter, met George Dureau, who invited him to his art studio. Thornsberry began painting seriously at twenty-two. He had painted all over his house before he began using his brother's garage as an art studio. He later started painting in the courtyard of The Manor in the sixth ward. Diane Carson ; Esplanade Ave, New Orleans, LA ; Evelyn Waterman ; N Derbigny St, New Orleans, LA 485 Playing the Saxophone ...and that's when, uh, The Neville Bothers, Charles... Thornsberry explains that he began playing the saxophone because Charles Neville of The Neville Brothers told him he should learn. He taught himself on a borrowed saxophone, making up his own songs. In 1986, he agreed to take a vacation soon after Mardi Gras with Rick Hawkins. Cafe Brasil ; French Quarter, New Orleans, LA ; New Orleans, LA ; Rick the Printer 775 Playing the Trumpet and Other Instruments That's when I left New Orleans... After acquiring a trumpet in Athens, Thornsberry taught himself to play by practicing in the late hours of the night and early in the morning. He did the same with his violin and is currently learning the accordion. He continues to practice with a crutch because he injured his arm while vigorously playing. He shares memories of the times he played out his window, despite his neighbors' protests. Athens, Ga ; Jeremy Ayers ; Robert (Robbie) Cucchiaro 1093 Working at Java Well, when you, why did you decide to move to Athens... Although, Thornsberry originally came to Athens for a vacation, he stayed because he enjoyed the ability to practice his music, as well as the peacefulness of the city. In 1987, Hawkins opened Java, which Thornsberry recalls spending time in with friends after hours. He shares several anecdotes from his late nights serving coffee there after the bars closed. He names a few people whose frequented, such as Vic Chesnutt, Michael Stipe, and Kate Pierson.

Thornsberry received hardly any formal training in his artwork. He had decided to learn figure painting, inspired by da Vinci and Michelangelo. Thornsberry attended an Introduction class at Delgado Community College, but already knew everything that was being taught. He shares that his art was stolen out of the classroom before he left New Orleans. The rest of his art was thrown out of his art studio upon selling the building.

During Thornsberry's time at Java, he focused mostly on practicing his instruments and painting. He recalls his time in New Orleans after he stopped playing saxophone and returned his attention to painting. Because he couldn't afford supplies, he would paint with paper bags or Dureau's used brushes by candlelight before he had electricity. Upon finding clay near someone's busted pipe, he attempted sculpting, but stopped because they were continuously destroyed. Years later, in Athens, he began again and successfully created twelve sculptures. Athens, GA ; George Dureau ; Javacycles ; New Orleans, LA ; Robert (Robbie) Cucchiaro 2673 Playing Saxophone in Athens When did you, uh, when you were, had moved up here to Athens... Thornsberry was still practicing saxophone and trumpet when he came to Athens. He was able to borrow saxophones from Joey Tatum and Laura Andonian in order to practice. He shares experiences meeting Tatum for the first time and mentions that he would play with several different people in Athens. Athens, Ga ; Baritone ; College Ave ; True Confession 2826 Hear It, Love it, Dance It Were you thinking abut starting a band at this point or not? Thornsberry describes his time with Hear It, Love It, Dance It (HLD), a sixteen piece band. He helped Jean Wilson, a drummer and guitar player, start the band. He names some of the people he remembers playing with, including Cal Clements.

Thornsberry shares his experiences recording with the three girls in his band Wild Gumbo, including Noel Beverly and Jennifer Cwiok. He shares that he had to take them off of his CD " ; Toe to Toe with the Mockingbird" ; because they did not want to help sell the CD, recording his own six songs to replace them. He also discusses spending time playing all over Athens in Jittery Joe's, parking lots, and with Chris Hogan and Medaglia d’Oro. When he wasn't playing music, he was working on his art.
