The most recent mystery photo was spotted by Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C., telling us: “This is a mural titled “Old Sweet Song” located at 370 Buford Highway in Suwanee, on the side of the building that currently houses the Suite Spot. The mural depicts a live music scene with a saxophonist, guitarist, drummer, and a crowd of spectators. Suite Spot is a business incubator in Suwanee, and is the former City Hall.”
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, contributed this: “Today’s mystery photo is of a hand-painted mural called “Old Sweet Song”, created in 2006 by Lilburn artist Sonny Franks (1951–present) in collaboration with a gathering of a local chapter of the Dixie Letterheads, a group of artists dedicated to preserving the traditional craft of hand-painted signage.
An updated look at last issue’s mystery.
“The mural’s title is “Old Sweet Song”, a nod to the official Georgia State Song, “Georgia on My Mind,” as recognizable in the chorus line: “Georgia, Georgia … the whole day through … just an old sweet song… keeps Georgia on my mind.”
“But there is so much more to appreciate about this mural than its title. Look at the people depicted in it? Can you recognize anyone? It turns out that the mural depicts 48 members of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in the audience, along with several members of the city development staff. Note some of them in this photo.”
Also recognizing the photo were Alexis Kelley, Norcross; Katha Blackwell, Suwanee; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who can’t be credited with a recognition, since he took the photo.
