We had a great dinner last night at Georgia's Greek Deli in Greenwood. Hank Bradley and his wife Cathie Whitesides play Greek folk music at Georgia's most weekends and were in top form last night. Hank is a regular reader and frequent commenter here at the Shark Blog so I was pleased to have a chance to go hear them perform. They had me nearly dancing out of my chair to the the sounds of their fiddles and bouzoukis. Other patrons really did get up and dance. Yanni joined Hank on electric guitar and vocals, and his version of Misirlou is both more Hellenic and more energetic than, say, the one from Pulp Fiction. The other highlight of the evening was watching the owner of the restaurant set the desserts on fire. I wasn't allowed to throw my plate at the ceiling, but I had a good time anyway.

And read this account of how Hank, Cathie and Georgia's helped overturn an outdated ban on music in family restaurants.
