The Mississippi Blues Trail

Another amazingly cool event at "my" Heritage Musesum. We got us a MS Blues Trail marker today!

"Oktibbeha County has produced several blues artists who achieved fame for their recordings and live performances in Chicago, California and other areas. Blues Hall of Famer Big Joe Williams (1903-1982), who waxed the classic "Baby, Please Don't Go," was born close to Noxubee Swamp on the southern edge of the county. Tony Hollins (1910-1959), who hailed from the Starkville-Osborn area, and Sturgis native Lou Thomas Watts (1934-1970), aka Kid Thomas, left small but significant bodies of recorded work.

And for the unfamiliar music enthusiasts, more on the MS Blues Trail can be found here.

I am tremendously sleepy today. No idea why. Not sure how I'll get through the rest of the day to be honest. Perhaps a nap is in order.
