We got a short one for ya today folks. Last week on The Paranormal Lovers we covered the infamous Lake Lanier. This week we look at the man for whom the lake was named after.

Sidney Lanier was a Georgia boy who loves music. After a short military career during the civil war, during which he contracted tuberculosis, Sidney set out to find his place in the world.

But his life would be cut short by the disease he had contracted earlier in his life. However the words he wrote and music he created will be around for ever.
