I live in Mississippi now, birthplace of the Blues and home of the Mississippi Blues Trail, Here's how the website introduces the Blues Trail.
Checking this out is on our to-do list. For starters, tonight we are going to the Calhoun County Backroads Music Festival in Bruce, MS - the nearest town 10 miles from the farm. This is a fundraiser to add a marker to the Trail for featured artist Leo "Bud" Welch one of the last Mississippi Delta bluesmen. He recorded his first gospel album at the age of 82 and a blues album a year later. What a great example of it's never too late.
B is also for birds which are my totem animal. I love seeing and hearing them here on the farm. I haven't been able to get many pictures yet but here is one of cedar waxwings. Love the tip of yellow on the tail.
