The "King of the Blues", B. B. King died in May of 2015. A long time supporter and contributor to the Mississippi Valley Statue University, it was decided by the university, the B. B. King Museum and the MVSU B. B. King Recording Studio that there should bea day of remembrance. The first Thursday of September was set aside to do just that. It was clear from that first day, that this event should be carried on and that it was in fact a unique dive into not just B. B. King, the man and his music but also an opportunity to explore the influences of the Mississippi Delta Blues on American culture, music and history. Each year since has had a specific theme from the Delta Blues' influence on jazz, to the Chitlin' Circuit & rock n' roll, to the 2019 focus - "The 1960’s British Music Invasion: The Phenomenon Leading to America’s Awakening to Mississippi Blues". While it is academic in some scope, the participants are legends of the Delta Blues scene, including people who toured with B.B. King and the other stars of the Blues and rock n' roll as well as historians and club owners. It is a very unique day of history followed up in the evening with performances by these very same legends at the famous Club Ebony in Indianaola, MS. The FREE event is nothing short of amazing. September 5, 2019.

The Southern Hospitality and friendly customer service greets you at the door! The gift shop had an amazing array of goods related to the South and Mississippi specifically. The pecans were expensive, as if they had transportation or import/export costs attached. I believed that the pecans would be a little cheaper based on being locally harvested. However, I would visit again!

If you are in Indianola I am assuming it is to go to the B.B. King Museum. How could you not drive a few blocks more to see "the corner"?

I have lived in the Mississippi Delta most of my life. I am a fifth generation Mississippian, and a third generation, living and farming this farm. My farming operation is truly unique for the Delta.
