January 05 Rock On Mr. James!James Brown was The "Hardest working man in show business" and a fellow Augustan who will forever be remembered fondly by us resident 40-somethings as the man with the coolest Christmas decorations in town. Every year his Walton Way residence was transformed from a regal house on "The Hill" into a Christmas wonderland-extraordinaire, complete with a huge "Black Santa" proudly perched in the middle of it all. It was the early 60s and that wasn't exactly a common thing to see way down here in the Deep South. But for the fortunate children of the CSRA it seemed perfectly normal and I feel blessed to have been there to see it. Mr. Brown will be mourned worldwide over the next few months but for us Augustans, Christmas will forever be a little bittersweet without him around. Rock on, James! You will be missed!
