One of the highlights of the annual Bragg Jam music festival is Macon City Councilman Larry Schlesinger and his band of local performers, some of whom are recognizable because of their roles in the community.
Schlesinger’s sets during past Bragg Jams have leaned heavily on the songs of Bob Dylan, but Schlesinger usually keeps his set list a surprise.
Schlesinger will be joined by Mercer University law professors Sarah Gerwig-Moore and Gary Simson, as well as members of the local band Jubee & the Morning After.
Mayor Robert Reichert usually sings lead vocals on one song during the set, covering in previous years “Why Don’t You Love Me Anymore,” “Blowin’ In the Wind” and “Stuck In The Middle With You.” On Thursday, Reichert posted a video on his campaign page of him and Schlesinger rehearsing Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”
Bad timing
With a month until early voting begins for the Sept. 17 special election to choose the Macon-Bibb County consolidated government, Paul Bronson won’t be on the campaign trail for a good part of it.
Bronson, who is running for the District 2 seat against current Macon City Council members Larry Schlesinger and Henry Ficklin, has to report to a National Guard unit in Virginia for a two-week training session beginning Monday.
Bronson, who was recently promoted to captain, is helping the unit train at Fort Pickett before it deploys.
