I was there.. You had to get there early to see the old Blues guys. Sam Chatman was my favorite. They still have the Delta Blues Fest in Greenville, but its mostly Southern Soul now.
I grew up in the Mississippi Delta. We moved to Indianola around this time. BB King was from there. Gave free concert in the park first weekend of every June for many years.
Wow the good ole days have come and gone and I want to thank the state of of Chicago and save The Best for last the state of Mississippi for keeping electrifying country and delta blues music alive 🎙️🥁🎸🎹🤜🏽🎶🤛🏽🇺🇸
