Mississippi is the Birthplace of American Music - whether it is Charley Patton and Son House's interpretations of the Delta Blues, Elvis Presley and Rock 'n' Roll from Tupelo or Jimmie Rodgers the Father of Country Music from Meridian - America's musical tradition was born and refined in the culture and struggles of Mississippi.
Thanks for all the posting you've done on the Mississippi Blues Trail. I'm planning on coming to the Macon marker unveiling -- hope to see you there'
