All Saints & Levy Park get organized All Saints District Association Regroups, Holds Meeting A small-sized crowd of residents and property and business owners gathered on May 7 at the Council of Culture and the Arts meeting room in the All Saints District to discuss plans for the neighborhood that the newly revitalized organization hopes to effect. Also attending — and of special attention at the meeting — were City Commissioners Nancy Miller and Andrew Gillum. ASD board members Michael Rodriguez, Dan Wester and Ely Mathis — led by Rodriguez — outlined the group's first initiatives, all focusing on "beautification, recognition, and advocacy." A voice vote of approval was given by those in attendance to adopt the All Saints District Logo (pictured) and to have round street signs manufactured that will be placed atop Stop signs throughout the District to "let people know when they are here,," as board chair Rodriguez put it. Interest also exists to erect larger and permanent welcome signs at the major entrances to the district. Of most interest at the meeting were pedestrian safety and city funding for sidewalk and neighborhood improvements. The former, safety, was addressed in conversations between attendees and Commissioners Miller and Gillum, and the ASD board had already identified and spoken with the city about the addition of at least two stop signs in the area, particularly along All Saints Street. That roadway, which runs parallel to Gaines Street two blocks to the south, has seen highly increased pedestrian traffic in recent years. But speeding vehicles, according to those who spoke, can become a threat to pedestrians and other vehicles. The city had, just prior
Street Revitalization project, more than $120 million in private investment is already slated for parcels north of Gaines — many of them condominiums, apartments and hotels, but community members questioned the logic of creating more places for people to stay in the area without providing them ways to venture into the connected communities. Commissioners Miller and Gillum
received many comments on behalf of the city, offered information and advice about the community redevelopment– funding process, and offered advice on how to proceed. The next meeting has not yet been scheduled, but all community residents, business owners and property owners are encouraged to participate. Board chair Michael Rodriguez can be reached at AllSaintsDistrict@gmail.com.
The district logo will be printed on street signs and mounted above stop signs in the district.
Levy Park Neighborhood Association re-organizes itself, and connects online
to the meeting, authorized a needs assessment for stop signs of other traffic safety devices, which is to begin immediately. On the topic of neighborhood development, several community members voiced their opinions — in some cases disappointment — that local owners and developers were being forced to pay for sidewalk or roadway improvements by the city's Growth Management Department when developing their properties — expenses known as Impact Fees. A majority of the side roadways in the ages-old district — one of the first neighborhoods to be developed in Tallahassee because of its proximity to the railroad station — are without sidewalks. But some property development requires that builders begin installing sidewalks, even if they connect to nothing. The board also expressed needs for resurfaced roads, improved sewer lines, and street lighting, among other needs, with one community member, longtime owner and resident Rick Barnett, telling the Commissioners that he believes it is unfair the ASD has not been developed in years, or that owners are required to invest in basic community services like sidewalks. After the completion of the Gaines
Levy Park residents have recently come together to incite a movement in their area to become a united entity, and have successfully done so by collectively launching a neighborhood association. This movement began with Facebook, which provided these residents an open-communication forum through which they have established themselves as the Levy Park Neighborhood Association. Levy Park is now defined as the area including the east side of Gibbs Drive, the south side of Tharpe Street, the west side of North Monroe Street, and the north side of 4th Avenue. It is an area that houses a variety of people, including Tallahassee students, employees, retirees, artists, musicians, business owners, farmers and more. As resident Andrew Littlefield puts it, living in Levy Park is a different experience because of the neighborhood’s “walkability, unique houses, and lots of trees and character, rather than endless rows of cookie-cutter houses... .” Efforts started in early January when resident Alden Hogan — now President of the association — created a Facebook group exclusively for Levy Park neighbors in an effort to band the community together. Hogan’s push catapulted from a desire to focus on community safety.
At the time of the group’s inception, the neighborhood had two existing associations — known as Midtown West and Levy Park — which had not been active since 2006. However, the new association has managed to expand and thrive in the last few months. Now the Facebook page gathers over 150 residents. They have drafted and approved bylaws, elected officers, and programmed several events and meetings. They have also created committees to cater to their diverse needs, which include the Service Committee, Social Committee, and Crime Watch. The association plans to hold formal elections at the end of the fiscal year, during the June 30–July 1 meeting. However, for the time being they elected four executive officers and one delegate: Alden Hogan (President), Mark Palmer (Vice President), Angela Bradford (Treasurer), Lauren Walz (Secretary), and Steven Hogan (Council of Neighborhood Associations Delegate). These executive officers encourage members to actively communicate on the private Facebook page. There, residents log on daily to talk to their neighbors about issues affecting their streets and schedule events, so far including a community social, Spring Cleaning day, picnic and meetings. All residents living within the aforementioned boundaries are invited to joing the Facebook group.

Cory Lippel -- at Bicycle House on Jackson Bluff Road -- biked 80+ miles to Tallahassee from Valdosta at the end of last year...and decided to stay.
Is biking in Tallahassee a viable mode of transportation? Part 2 of 2
W
ith the collapse of plans to turn lanes of Tennessee Street into bike and bus lanes, we thought it was a good time to examine the condition of bicycling in Tallahassee in general. With 120+ miles of bike lanes, is it really a safe and desired alternative to automotive travel? Villager reporter Paul Haney set out on his bicycle to investigate community feelings about road travel in the city, and to experience the milieu firsthand. The first part of this series is available online at TallyVillager.com / CapitalCityVillager/ May 11, 2012/ vol. 1 iss. 6
By Paul Haney Paul Rutkovsky, an art professor at FSU, had many such safe journeys when he used to ride his bike to campus. But 10 years ago a student ran a stop sign and struck him with her car, breaking his neck and crushing the bones in his cervix. “I was preparing to turn, was in the turn lane,” Rutkovsky says. “She came out of that stop sign so fast … I just hit the side of the car and flew over it.” “The helmet saved my life, that’s what the neurosurgeon told me,” says Rutkovsky, who strongly encourages all cyclists to wear their helmets. Rutkovsky recovered and now lives with
“no small pain,” but says, “To this day, I don’t bicycle in Tallahassee … I just get the shakes when I’m on a bicycle now.” He says the irony is “I’m a lover of the bicycle and I’m horrified [to ride one].” Rutkovsky also says that “It’s so important, to make a viable small city in Tallahassee, you need, instead of more cars, safer, wider lanes,” putting him in the camp with those who call for the promotion of alternative means of transportation in Tallahassee, even with his traumatic experience. Many may remember Trey Hayworth, who wasn’t as lucky as Rutkovsky. On August 18, 2008, while riding east down Gaines Street, a hub for the Tallahassee cycling community, a semi truck turning off Railroad Avenue gave him a “right hook,” as it’s known in the cycling world, and trapped him beneath its carriage. Hayworth died that day, at 24 years old, and now a ghost bike sits at the scene of the accident. Ghost bikes around town have drawn a lot of attention, even from scholars. Leigh Graziano studies Rhetoric and Composition at FSU and has coined a term for memorials where members of a community collaborate: “vernacular memorials.” At a recent presentation on FSU’s campus, Graziano spoke of ghost bikes as “silent and somber memorials … quiet declarations to drive safely … [attempts to] make present what is absent, and that is the person who’s been lost.” These communal compositions serve as folk art and take a multifaceted approach to representing the person memorialized. Each participant adds their own personal touch — a flower, a note, a bike chain — that lends meaning to the accident site, the person who died, and the community at large. While tales of inner-city incidents with bicycles usually yield tragedy, the trails in the more bucolic areas of town yield excitement and adventure. “We ride for means of transportation, but we love to get out on the trails, too,” says Nate from Joe’s Bike Shop. “We really enjoy the recreational aspect to riding.” Many bike enthusiasts echo this sentiment, and they all agree that Tallahassee has some fantastic trails.
Wanting to broaden my Tallahassee biking perspective, I call a couple of my old college buddies, Tom and Andy, and ask them to take me out on the trails. I arrive at Tom Brown Park a few minutes early and park between two clay race tracks: one for RC cars vrooming and soaring off ramps and around 180-degree turns; the other a BMX track with high walls where adolescents wheel around. My friends bring a third guy, Danny, who isn’t wearing a shirt and has a tattoo of a bicycle gear on his left shoulder blade. I think, this guy’s hardcore. They take their bikes off their car racks, check brakes and air pressure, and fill their camelbacks with water from the fountain. With my helmet already fastened, I roll back and forth on my bike and kick my tire. It feels okay. “You think this bike will make it?” I ask. It belongs to my landlord. Danny looks over. “Oh yeah. My dad has that bike. You’ll be fine.” “Am I going to get thirsty?” “Nah,” Andy says. “Well, maybe.” They bounce their front tires to check their shocks and roll toward the trailhead. It’s sunny, warm and breezy, trees sway overhead and their shadows dance on the hardpan beneath. Tom wheels up beside me. “When’s the last time you went mountain biking?” “Um…never?” The things I do for the Villager. We enter the woods on a well-worn path, a few feet wide and twisting through piney Florida forest. Bringing up the rear, I lose sight of my friends within about 10 pedals, left to find my own way. With each turn I think the path will stop, reach a terminus and send me crashing into the pine scrub. The trees hug in over and around me, making a tunnel, but I train my focus on the ground, on pedaling and braking, timing when to jerk up on the handle bars to clear the roots. Eventually I come to a clearing and find my friends staring down into a clay pit with ramps and jumps like a grownup version of the RC track. Andy and Danny steer down the first slope, standing to use their legs as shock absorbers, and Tom yells out “come on, Paul!” be-
fore riding down. Visions of those tiny cars flash through my mind, launching off earthy precipices, flipping in the air and landing sideways, crashing into the walls before beer-bellied men go turn them back over. My momentum carries me up the first ramp and I feel like I’m going too fast. I clench both brakes and they squeal and my tires skid. I fall off the path. “Don’t lock up your front tire!” Tom yells out, airborne over the next jump. The trail has turned him back toward me, like a heating coil. “Which one’s the front brake?” I yell back out, peddling to make it up the next slope. “Right hand rear!” Up ahead, Andy and Danny accelerate up the final ramp and perch atop the hill, watching me and grinning. Time to suck it up, I think, and after turning back, I take the next jump at full speed. My tires leave the ground but I stick the landing, keeping my hand off the front brake. After three more jumps I meet them at the top of the hill. I’m glad that part’s over. Over the next two hours they take me all through the woods of Tom Brown Park. Some trails have inconvenient roots; some go steeply uphill; some take me across wooden boardwalks I’m afraid to fall off of. Cadillac Trail has a row of rusted cars lining its entrance. I comment that riding on the flat paths with pine needle floors, after all those jumps and bumps, “feels like riding on air”. Andy hasn’t been out here in a while, and comments on all the improvements to the trail in the last few months. In the last couple years, he tells me, the city has committed to improving riding conditions all through the park. I end up enjoying myself and, by the end of the day, I feel like trying out the other trails. Munson Hills Trail just got a makeover, I hear. Red Bug Trail has a new section. St Mark’s Trail just got repaved. Bicyclists have asserted their voice in city politics, and their passion has paid off. But still, instead of cycling to the trails, bikers tend to rack their bikes and drive. Who can blame them with
Ghost bikes around town have drawn a lot of attention, even from scholars. Leigh Graziano studies Rhetoric and Composition at FSU and has coined a term for memorials where members of a community collaborate: “vernacular memorials.” the polarizing transportation debates in town, the motorists who resent the voices of cyclists, the bicycle-automobile accidents, the ghost bikes? In a perfect world, Tallahassee could separate car and bike traffic and make alternative means of transportation more feasible. That way residents who insist on preserving the autonomy of their automobiles could get around town safely and comfortably while cyclists could have a route system all their own. A third option, the Star Metro bus system supplemented with inner-city rail lines, could offer safe and expedient transportation to those without a vehicle. But it all starts with Tallahassee residents admitting the problems that arise when cars, cyclists, and pedestrians collide and welcoming innovative solutions. You can’t put the brakes on the future; change is coming. Tallahassee and the state of Florida would do well to ready themselves for a paradigm shift in transportation.

Renaissance Center: A New Resource For The Homeless By Denise Vickers-Leon Tallahassee now has a new weapon in its fight against homelessness. The building located in the Historic Frenchtown Community, which previously had been used as a warehouse and boxing gym, has now been converted into the Renaissance Community Center. Rick Kearney, CEO and President of Mainline Information Systems and a longtime advocate for the homeless, made a commitment to address the issue on. Led by his company’s charitable branch, the Beautitude Foundation, more than 40 of those in the private sector contributed 1.2 million dollars to bring the project to fruition. Along with local social service agencies these “Partners for Promise” actively seek and encourage other businesses and organizations, regardless of their size, to share in their mission of providing the needed resources to help the homeless and their families. To date, the program has brought together more than 1,000 businesses for this purpose. During the day, when local shelters are closed, the center aims to be a onestop center of resources to assist the homeless and their families in all phases of becoming self-sufficient. “This is not a place to hang out nor do we provide babysitting services. Everyone who comes here must come with the purpose of making their current situations better,” said Chuck White, facilities coordinator. “Here, we have the ability to modify and change as the situations of those we serve dictate.” Besides providing clean bathrooms and showers, laundry facilities, backpack storage, telephones and computer access, the center’s main objective is to provide the fundamental services the homeless need. And social service agencies from around the city and county are available at all times to address a vast array of long-term issues such as employment training, education, hous-
“This is not a place to hang out nor do we provide babysitting services. Everyone who comes here must come with the purpose of making their current situations better.” ing, counseling, medical needs and benefits. Marta Arrington is the Executive director of ECHO, one of the major contributing organizations, and strongly believes in the centers mission. “We wanted to effectively bring together all of the social service agencies into one central location for those in need,” she said. With the knowledge that the number of homeless people in Leon County far exceeds those recorded by different standards and measures, the partners -- combined with other organizations, churches, and community advocates -are reaching out to those counted and not counted who are affected by the homeless epidemic. To be thoroughly efficient in its mission, the center is depending heavily on these groups and community volunteers. ”I believe it has good potential, especially with its proximity to the shelters where there are a lot of people who need their services,” said one client who wished to remain anonymous. The center is open from 8a.m.-5p.m. Monday-Friday. It is also available for community meetings and activities.

By Faith Ward It was over, I made it. The long hell of living with him was over; only cost me the rent money he stole. I was headed back to Daddy’s house in the country. This place was awful but wonderful, wish I could smoke. I’d settle for a cigarette instead of a j, at least a j would make the ride so much better but alas, left smoking with the rest of the anchors of my life back in town. I was on the open road now, nothing but trees. I couldn’t decide if this would be the perfect site for a zombie outbreak or a revolt on humanity from the trees. I love movies but I watch too many. That’s what got me in this mess in the first place. I couldn’t find a nice normal boy to settle down with; I had to find movie characters of great calamity. I wondered if the actual disease spawning a race of zombies would come from incest. If so, it would be from here I am convinced. My old car seems to do well with no traffic lights but this drive was not as colorful without being stoned; it seemed to make everything better. I can’t face him yet; I always come home after I screw up. I was always welcome, room ready. It was almost too heartbreaking to take Daddy up on his readiness to make things all better.
I miss Mom. She would have loved this place; she was into Cross Creek and old Florida stuff. We should have never come here; it’s her kind of place. The lighthouse is always the deciding factor: do I stay or run? I love the lighthouse. It’s like the world left it alone and honored its memory without distorting the land. Half marsh, half bay — this makes it worth it. I wonder what movie I can identify this with to make it my own. What backwoods beau potential would I encounter now? I think after the last one, I am cured from what ailed me. I wouldn’t mind a Cajun, I really like Swamp People. Each place I ended up in always made me fantasize farther North. Dade City used to be Country Capitol until I lived there for a while. Now it’s Louisiana, but now that I swore off vampires and sin I guess there’s no point. Still love the old houses. You’d think I was a true blue bell from what I like. Back at Daddy’s, my garbage bag luggage unloaded. He hung Mommy’s antique mirror over her writing desk to create a vanity space for me. What am I going to do when he’s gone? Who will be there to rescue me? I can’t think about that now, I’ll think about that tomorrow. Time for a new movie, one that I would write and live on my own.

DAYCATIONS: A Big Bend Safari By Jennifer Wells The octopus was watching me as it nonchalantly flipped a coin. Heads or tails? Either way, I knew I was about to be outsmarted by a cephalopod. It had all started the night before when, during my evening ritual of reading the entire Internet, I came across Panacea’s Gulf Marine Specimen Laboratory’s video, “Octopi the Gulf.” Not only was I immediately captivated by the bad pun, but also by my own recollection of being chased across the Adriatic by an octopus in 2006. Intrigued, I learned that the GMSL had recently opened their octopus exhibit. Thinking about the route south, it occurred to me: By stopping at the Tallahassee Museum, Wakulla Springs State Park and the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab, I could see the triumvirate of the Tallahassee area’s animal-focused parks. I could go on a safari, Big Bend style. With a packed lunch, my camera and a borrowed zoom lens, I headed off to my first stop: the Tallahassee Museum ($8). Based upon advice from the friendly museum staff, I started with the halfmile nature trail, where I learned the bald cypress trees are related to my beloved California redwoods. Then it was on to the elevated boardwalks, which guide visitors past animals in their natural habitats: white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, a bobcat, a red wolf. Amazing. And then, there was the Florida panther. There is something about seeing any of the big cats up close: the twitch of the tail, so familiar to anyone who has been owned by a housecat, yet so different, so authoritative; the slink of the walk; the amber pooling eyes; the way your primal self steps back and holds a breath when the cat moves towards you, even though the fence is there to remind you of the 21st century. Regretfully leaving the Tallahassee Museum, I argued with myself about whether it was nuts to try to see so much in one day when I easily could have spent the day with my new best
friend, the Florida panther. Before either side could win, I was pulling into Wakulla Springs State Park ($6). I opted for the boat tour ($8), and as we cruised over the glassy, tea-colored water, I watched an anhinga spread its wings, its feathers like clothes drying on a line. Alligators basked in the sun on the banks or were nearly submerged in the invasive hydrilla aquatic plants. Suwannee cooter turtles descended a log like the von Trapp family. To the right, a grouper leapt out of the water and slapped back down while up ahead a blue heron skittered across the surface before taking off in flight. As the boat circled back around, we were lucky enough to see two manatees as they languidly passed by. After eating lunch, I drove to the Gulf Marine Specimen Laboratory’s Aquarium ($8.50), where I was given a brief overview of the facility and then left to my own devices to wander through the exhibits. One building houses an array of touch tanks where I could have “pet” any number of crustaceans — way more than I’d ever seen in the starfish- and ray-heavy touch tanks of larger aquariums. However, I was too enthralled just watching them crawl, shuffle and slide around. Outside, I spent some
time watching a sea turtle swimming around its tank, curiously peering up at me every time it passed by. Finally, it was time to visit the ones who set this safari adventure in motion, the octopi. Just like the video had suggested, they seemed to be watching me as I peered down at them. One scooted over to a bag of marbles, intent on moving them. Another reached out for a strand of green beads. A third picked up a coin with its beak (up close, the mouth of an octopus looks like a parrot’s) and began flipping it and catching it, flipping it and catching it. Heads or tails? It didn’t matter; I had already won.

Villager is a free, independent and locally owned publication for arts, culture and news in Tallahassee. We publish every other Wedsnesday and are free to readers and distributors, supported solely by our advertisers -- many of whom are small, local businesses. Our goal is to bring all of Tallahassee together in one place. You can learn more about our mission and history online at TallyVillager.com

Advertising Inquiries: Joe Berg at Tallahassy@gmail.com or 850.320.7806 Letters to the Editor: Letters of relevance to Villager content should be addressed to Tallahhassy@Gmail.com, and must include your full name and phone number for confirmation (although this information will not be published.)
I don’t usually enjoy or write Letters from the Publisher, but with this our sixth issue (a mental landmark for several reasons), I thought it would be a good time to say a little bit about our paper and our vision to the many new readers we have found since our launch several months ago. We are only one force for progress in Tallahassee, but we are proud to be the force that advocates local culture over commercial culture, engagement over apathy, community over isolation or
indivudal, knowledge over prejudice, truth over power, and local industry over outside interests. And we find the need, at times, to challenge the prevailing winds. Admittedly, we have an ambitious vision for a more vibrant, interactive, and thriving community (for all) in Tallahassee. And attaining that vision is no easy task. But to do anything less with the talent, skills and passions that are overflowing in this city would be a misjudgment of both purpose and need. With each passing issue, we try to find new ways and new views to bring to the forefront of the community dialogue, and to connect each group and community with others. To provide this needed information to the public for free, we rely entirely on revenue from advertising sales, and we are doing some things a little differently. We’ve designed Villager to help businesses of every size grow and prosper -- as a resource to help local shops and owners compete for a market presence against major competitors with massive marketing budgets. And for a concept like Villager to work for our advertisers, we need you,

The Horror Genre Reborn, and Some Classic Trash By The Primal Root
The Cabin in the Woods (2012): Seeing the Forest for the Trees Stop me if you've heard this one before. Okay, here goes: A jock, a slut, a pothead and a mousy chick decide to spend a weekend in the woods, only things don’t go as planned as malevolent forces beyond their control put a bloody and unexpected halt to their fun-filled outing. Sound familiar? To any fan of the horror genre the principle setup could be lifted from any one of the multitude of slasher films released between the late 70s to today. It's the same formula that's been set up, rinsed and repeated for generations. But this basic premise is where the similarities between The Cabin in the Woods and your typical teen body count horror films end and the inventiveness begins. This is precisely what makes the film such a tent-pitchingly awesome treat for both hardcore horror fans and even general audiences who have, no doubt, become well aware of such genre tropes. Joss Whedon (the man behind the immensely popular and critically acclaimed Buffy the Vampire Slayer television show) and co. have created a horror film that not only includes all the fun, over-the-top brutal violence, imaginative creatures, and gratuitous tits and ass we've all come to expect and love about this type of flick, but also imbues the picture with a wealth of knowledge about horror tales in general and uses that as a way to revitalize it by packing enough wit, brains and a plethora of unexpected surprises to keep even the most well-versed fan second guessing themselves as to just
what will happen next and what cliché will be chopped down and tossed onto the fire. As a connoisseur and lifelong fan of this well-worn cinematic subgenre, I am purposefully sidestepping any further mentioning of the veritable cornucopia of plot turns and unexpected twists, because to do so would be an unforgivable disservice to any audience plopping their asses down to view The Cabin in the Woods for the first time. The Cabin in the Woods from writer Joss Whedon and director Drew Goddard completely annihilates every convention of the genre and reminds all of us that there are still avenues left unexplored in what some might see as an exhausted form of storytelling. It may only be a matter of storytellers hiking off the trail and further, deeper, into the woods.
The Cheerleaders (1973): Keeping the Team Spirit Up
Ah, spring has sprung. A time when flowers bloom and so do young women. Hence, my immense desire to review one of the essential and most fondly remembered and highly regarded sexploitation films of the 1970s, The Cheerleaders! As the least brain-damaged of readers might have already assumed, the film spins the tale of a high school
cheerleading squad and their own special brand of team spirit. Basically, these girls are a bunch of unrepentant horn dogs chomping at the bit for some down and dirty action in a town without much else happening. Our story is mostly told from the perspective of new recruit, the tomboyish and utterly adorable Jeannine, played by the enigmatic Stephanie Fondue and sporting one righteous prototype Joan Jett mullet. Hell, could Stephanie have possibly pioneered this do? Anyhoo, this was the first in a series of one role for Ms. Fondue and she honestly gives one very impressive comedic performance in this thing as a teenager who joins up with the varsity cheerleading squad as a means of escape from her rigidly strict household
and a gateway to a world of heavy petting and other such delights. Basically, it's like Sex and the City set in high school, but with tons of tits and ass and no annoying diatribes about laptops not working or what Versace outfit to wear. Okay, it’s not anything like Sex and the City, but it is a surprisingly funny, free-spirited and over-the-top sex comedy and coming-of-age story that's well worth seeking out if you’re looking for some enjoyable, sleazy, and dare I say, trashy entertainment that’s about as heavy as a feather but loaded with some good-natured slapstick, plenty of skin and a feeling of nostalgia for a time when our teen sex comedies actually featured, you know, sex. Relatively rare to find on DVD these days, you can find used copies for upwards of 50 smackers and Netflix sure as shit isn't carrying it. However, Tallahassee's own Video 21 does happen to have a VHS copy for rent for those looking to spend an evening with The Cheerleaders. Trust me, if this is your kind of thing, you won't regret it. Till next time, Stay Trashy! Illustration by Molly O’brien

Local Music
Indie/Folk Genre: Reggie Williams By Tracy Horenbein When most people think of Bradenton, Florida, the first thing that comes to mind is not the music scene. But maybe it should be. Amidst the beaches and occasional political outbreak, there is a unique, homegrown musical tapestry being woven. Just ask musician Reggie Williams. "There's a big scene happening down there, with people really trying to do a lot of interesting things," said Williams. "Everyone has a lot of drive and is being really innovative."

Williams is a Bradenton native who relocated to Tallahassee to attend FSU's School of Music. Bringing his bay-area enthusiasm and his unique and heartfelt songwriting, he has carved out a special place among fellow songwriters and fans of the indie folk genre. "Growing up I was only allowed to listen to jazz, but I had a friend who was into Jimi Hendrix," he said. The floodgates were opened and Williams bought a guitar at a music shop in Sarasota when he was 14. He began to search for new musical inspiration and began exploring new genres. "Coheed and Cambria was the band that actually made me want to play guitar. Also, I didn't have many friends at the time, so I was spending a lot of time in my room playing guitar," he added. "I didn't have a great family relationship. Plus, kids in my neighborhood were telling me that only white kids play guitar." Williams turned his solitude and emotional challenges into songs. "I did my own thing. I had to write songs because if I didn't, I'd be depressed all the time." Listening to Williams' current album, Change, the darker days of his youth have turned into music that evokes forgiveness and hope. In his song “Just Like You,” Williams sings "Every scar tells a story, defects that prove the past. The same way they heal and disappear, we cannot let this hurt last." "I originally came to FSU to study music therapy and classical guitar, but I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. Now I'm in the commercial music program." The change has paid off for Williams who recently played the Florida Music Festival in Orlando to an eager crowd
16/ CapitalCityVillager/ May 11, 2012/ vol. 1 iss. 6
of industry reps and music lovers. One of the comments he received from a noted music producer was particularly insightful. "This guy said you're an excellent player, you're really cool live, but I'm not sure that I can sell a million records of you right now." Williams' response was, "cool." "I'd much rather do the Fleet Foxes thing and have a smaller, but strong following of people who are really connected to your music," he said. On earlier songwriting efforts, Williams had written the songs out of a more self-serving necessity. It helped him stay sane. He wasn't overly concerned with whether or not people related to them. After he began performing live, he was shocked to find out that people really connected with his songs. This contributed to his excitement to
record and release his newest album, Change. The album is available for purchase and download on the Reggie Williams bandcamp (reggiewilliams.bandcamp.com). Williams recorded the album in Tallahassee last summer, and has already started recording a followup. Having developed much love and respect for the Tallahassee music scene, he's making a sincere and devoted effort to help cultivate the vibrancy. "The house shows scene is awesome," he said. "For me, that's where I think I shine. It's amazing that people are so inviting. I love the closeness. That's what it's all about. Getting to know everyone, and developing a relationship with all these people who have skills that I don't have. I love what's going on in the scene here, and I can't wait to get deeper into it." You can hear Reggie Williams live on V89's Hootenany show (89.7 FM), Monday, May 21 at 10pm. He will be performing on June 1 at the Warehouse. Williams also has a nice collection of videos on YouTube. On the song “Simple Things” from Williams' latest album, he makes a suggestion. "I think I forget sometimes, when I get locked up inside my head, that complications are self-imposed, so let's put our worries to bed." Sound advice for us all.
