Saturday 26 February 2005 New Live CD From A BOI! Local singer, songwriter, musician, poet, playwright, writer, actor, artist, and overall renaissance man, George Douglas Lee, has released his new CD, "Live From The Courtyard"! In his spare time, George also designs nuclear weapons, is a small-arms expert for Jane's Defense Weekly, restores paintings of the old master's for the world's leading museums, practices Kung Fu, and searches for the lost continent of Atlantis in Galveston Bay. On this mini Frisbee, he has recorded, at this famous venue on Market Street, George makes his bid to become the Bob Dylan of The Island with 16 original compositions, expressing the full range of human emotions, and one man's Inner Demons! His work at The Courtyard Cafe was said to be so powerful that he now haunts the place like a latter-day Phantom of the Opera. Passers by often report seeing his ghostly image atop the building playing his acoustic guitar!  Copies of the CD are available, directly from George, or may be purchased at one of his performances at Cocktails, or from his agent/business manager/attorney; you know, the guy weaving palm fronds on the Seawall.  Galveston Music Scene has learned that George is in the process of forming a monster Rock band that he feels is destined to quickly dominate the music scene along the Gulf Coast from Galveston to Pensacola! I have suggested such a band should include George Lee (on guitar), Mark Lee (on guitar), Gary Lee (on drums) and another Lee, to be named later, (on bass). This band, which will be named the Brothers Lee, or B. Lees, could even challenge the upcoming reunion performance of Cream for the biggest news in the music business since 1969! George is also a columnist for The Twisted Parrot, but Galveston Music Scene feels a rag with an affiliation to Jimmy Buffet is wholly inappropriate for George's viewpoint and sensibilities. For this reason, GMS is negotiating with him to write a column for our humble web page. Since our affiliations are solely with the Southern Rock & Roll/Texas Blues genre, this will be a much better fit! George's writing style conforms to the tradition pioneered by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, known as Gonzo journalism. As a matter of fact, he goes one step further by following the "Doctor's" credo: "I hate to advocate sex, drugs, rock & roll, insanity or violence to anyone else; but they have worked for me". This is a philosophy that has served George quite well, and one that he will express in his upcoming work for GMS. Thompson's death, by a self-inflicted gun shot wound, a few days ago, does not shake George's belief in Hunter's philosophy one bit. He merely commented that Hunter got the job done with one shot, so he couldn't have been that drunk, or he would have shot himself more than once! In addition to all of his other claims to fame, George is also the great-great grandson of the great man himself; Robert E. Lee, the Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia! As a leading member of the New Confederacy, George carries on the family tradition as a strong voice in favor of a second American Revolution, to liberate the people from the tyranny of a strong federal government, that his great-great grandfather failed to achieve. At a recent town hall meeting with Texas state representatives, in Galveston, George did not get caught up in the Red State-Blue State debate, but instead made the point that if Texas is unwilling to secede from the "United" States, then Galveston should secede from Texas!! After the thundering applause subsided, he went on to say that the biggest threats to the quality of life on The Island are: Yankees, Carpetbaggers, Scalawags and other Marxist swine. If necessary, he said that we should blow up the Causeway, and defend The Island with a battery of Confederate Artillery that he has organized. (My brother Peter is on the far left)  With this philosophy, if we can get George on The Park Board, I think that he can fix the problems with Mardi Gras!!
