I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.

You’re getting close to my turf now! That Highway 61 is one long stretch of highway through the flatlands! Clarksdale, Shelby, over to Hwy 1 and down to Benoit, (my hometown) Scott – the site of the ’27 break, Greenville, Leland… Hop over to Yazoo City then back to Vicksburg then Natchez…. I could draw maps of all of those places without using Google Earth!
Enjoy your nostalgic time and say “Hello” to Ole Man River for me.

Would love for you the “show us around” some of the must see and little seen sights in you neck of the woods. Are you up for that?

14 Jul 2013I never really tried to “antique” a photo before. Maybe a little too much grain but I was pleased.
