Soon the oppressive heat will be gone. The foot-long corn dogs at the state fair are just around the corner.by Herman Snell September 1, 2010 What better reason to get your music and drink on than to celebrate the ending of August and a long Labor Day weekend. Soon the oppressive heat will be gone. The foot-long corn dogs at the state fair are just around the corner. Throw down with the funk of Dr. Zarr’s Funkmonster at Poet’s II on Lakeland Drive this Thursday night to start the weekend off early. Also, Thursday is the southern blues-rock of Hill Country Revue with Tea Leaf Green getting it on in Hal & Mal’s big room. Hill Country Revue is fronted by multi-Grammy-nominated Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars. If you dig the Allstars or Allman Brothers-style jams, it’ll be worth the $15 cover.
