We offer many video clips and photos of these musicians mentioned and others on our web site and on YouTube. Musicians are involved in teaching the Blues as well as being involved in community events. Mississippi is a state that treasures the Musician and the Blues Heritage. Mississippi Promotes the Blues and established a Blues Trail for the tourists. We would like to use a quote from the Mississippi Blues Commission at www.msbluestrail.org “The Blues and Mississippi are synonymous to music lovers. The repertoire of any Blues or rock band is full of songs, guitar licks, and vocal inflections borrowed from Mississippi bluesmen such as Robert Johnson, Charley Patton, Tommy Johnson, and Son House to Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Sonny Boy Williamson, Big Joe Williams, Bukka White, and Furry Lewis – just to mention some of the early ones. A couple of generations later, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, James Cotton, and many others were still making Mississippi Blues and sending it out all over the world. We invite you to visit us in Mississippi and experience live blues performances or go to see one of our musicians and bands perform when they are in your area. The blues is alive and doing well in Mississippi! We invite you to experience Mississippi and to check for the location of the live music events. Please give me a call if I can be of service to you.
