Jeff Lustig and Tracy Brown perform jazz and blues at the first-ever session of Music in the House.

Music and visual art inspired one another on a recent October evening in Athens, where local musicians Tracy Brown and Jeff Lustig performed jazz and blues for the inaugural session of Music in the House. The new quarterly program invites local musicians to the Lyndon House Arts Center and encourages Athenians to stop by to write, paint, draw, and even shape pottery while soaking in the tunes. Here's this postcard from the first evening of Music in the House, produced by Emma Auer.

You just heard the voices of Amy Patterson, Cindy Myer, and Bob Clements--Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Georgia. They attended the first quarterly session of Music in the House at the Lyndon House Arts Center. Music in the House is sponsored by University of Georgia Professor Emerita of Journalism and local novelist Leara Rhodes.
