Had a fun phone conversation with Blues artist Libby Rae Watson. I happened to find her traveling Instagram @liberaetor and talked food, travel, off the beaten path, her music. This is the edited version of a conversation that felt like I was talking to a friend I hadn't caught up with in awhile. 

If you want to help save and preserve graves of Blues artists this is the place and organization to work with.  I had the privilege DeWayne Moore of the foundation. Take a listen to current and upcoming projects.   

This part of our talk we chatted about his winning his Grammy awards and Blues Markers and of course the Delta a little food and fun times. I hope you enjoy.

It's always been a pleasure to speak with Mr.Ferris.  His documentary work over decades  were noticed by the Grammys and he's encouraged me to keep on, and let people's voices be heard, as he has. I always feel honored and blessed  to speak with him and I hope you enjoy his story and our talk of the Blues.

Get an insight into the museum. I've been going there since it was a living museum and now is a memorial. King made it his home and it is a place you want to stop by along your trip down the Delta Blues Highway. 

I was doing an interview and Mrs. Delsie Davis walked in. Since my illness- pre-Covid and the podcast during covid, I came across audio, I had recorded six months before I lost memories. I have some of this trip but audio makes it sound like it was a good one. B.B. King says he has two years of his childhood he can't remember- I could not fathom but now I can. This is the beginning of the podcast taking a break. 

In honor of Juke Joint Festival- We are talking about the Blue Front Cafe and Po'Monkey's to have a little fun. An experience is an experience and you have to get off a travel guide and ask sometimes where to go. 

I really wanted this talk and it was on a drive from seeing family on back ways to Bentonia that I had this chat. There is more I hope to use in another episode down the road, but here is a great talk. It sound like you live your life and play/do what you will from the soul is what I'm learning from these artists. Amazing. It's worth the drive off the beaten path to this surviving Juke Joints and see Mr.Holmes. 

Long time since the interview. And I've been band even though the museum can use the graphics on their website. I now want to take a road trip just to see the newest exhibit,  MTV Turns Forty: I Still Want My MTV.  I can't believe how time flies and how media changes so quickly for us. 

Ok. yes, this is an artist that's not along the Delta Blues Highway, but
you will find her playing three times at Clarksdale's 2022 Juke Joint Festival.
She does love Delta Blues and acoustic music and her third CD is her first that
she has written and is exploding internationally. This interview is different. I thought
I didn't get the interview, then I had an email asking ,"how is the interview going?" It was
the week before Christmas. I was lucky to talk to Donna and see her band play and 
write for BluesMatters. I met deadline. Sadly this is Blues, the creator and editor
of the magazine had waited 4 years for a knee replacement died a little later. We
all live the Blues and live each day to fullest. Like that, Donna and her husband went on 
a date at a Blues concert and it was a connection that continues with them playing together.
