I met Verno

Vernon J. Thornsberry is a musician and artist who lives and works in Athens, Georgia. Thornsberry is originally from New Orleans, where he was mentored for many years by George Dureau, an artist who is said to have inspired the work of Robert Mapplethorpe. But there's more. Vernon is also a baker who started baking at the Grit, which unfortunately closed last year. He has continued baking at the new location for the Daily Groceries new location and still making delicious vegan treats. His music infuses the band Organically Programmed Orchestra, which plays the washboard, and he still has his own band that will show up in Athens when you least expect it.. I was invited to visit Vernon's home and experience where the magic happens. Listening to Vernon will just make you smile. Here is my conversation with Vernon Thornsberry.
