At the counter at the bookstore on The Quad today, I couldn’t help but notice a new stack of CDs. There, on the cover, wearing a WF cap, was Parker Bradway (’11), a president’s aide from Georgia who graduated in May and has landed in Nashville. These CDs were his debut recordings, a fact mentioned proudly by Wake Forest’s religion department in its online updates. (His parents must be proud, too. They are Scott Bradway and Lee Burroughs Bradway, both from the class of 1983.)

Bradway studied religion, psychology and entrepreneurship while he was here. He also made news around Wake Forest when his famous YouTube video went viral on campus in fall 2010. With David Cox (’11) and as part of the Traditions Council efforts, Bradway walked around with his microphone to film  “Messing with Freshmen,” asking chin-scratching questions about where the forest of Wake might be found, when the Winston-Salem witch trials occurred and what the O stood for in President Nathan Hatch’s middle name. The best scene unfolded on a guys’ freshmen hall. You’ll have to see it to appreciate it. No spoiler alert here.

Twitter is lighting up with news that singer and songwriter Bradway will be back on campus tonight to perform at The Barn at 8 p.m. If you want to hear his CD’s featured song, “Carolina Blue,” listen here. But beware: If you go to the show, during these Halloween days don’t fall for the Winston-Salem witch trials line if Bradway corners you. You’ll be sorry.
