DO THEY MAKE WINE IN MISSISSIPPI?
DO THY DRINK IT IN TENNESSEE?
Obviously, this post's title hasn't got much to do with it's contents. I was about to start writing when a network colleague got me on Skype about the wine market. So I thought it coud be a fine, intriguing title. Does ii intrigues you?
As a matter of fact this post is another one I dedicate to a fine blogging friend I met trough the net, a real Southern lady from Jackson, Mississippi, and a Blues lover too..
She is dedicated to improving the image of her state. In her own words: "We may be poor in Mississippi, but we are not backwards".
I confess, I've never been to Mississippi, I don't know the place apart from reading about it and seing it in the movies, the last one being Cohen brothers'"O Brother, Where Art Thou?", a very entertaining flick with lots of good music, but that depicts Mississippi in a caricatural way, and relating to about eighty years ago. Not very realistic, uh?
However, I wanted to pay an hommage to prinpronisse and to the state of Mississippi, where it all began about 130 years ago. It certainly it wasn't easy then, for both blacks and white, the state sill suffering form the Civil War and the Reconstruction wounds, whose scars were still hurting in the beginning of XX Century, so I decided to use videos relating only to the original performers of that epoch, and only playing acoustic.
And boy, that wasn't easy at all, very few original videos, and most of them non suitable. Also, this was a quite busy period talking about work, so it took me too long a time...
