October 9, 2023. Madison, Mississippi. Another Excursion.

 Chris took David on another excursion today.  He had no commitments after early this morning so he suggested driving to the Delta.  Davi's son is a music buff so he urged David to check the Blues Museums in the Delta.  So today was the day.  Again, they had a wonderful day.  The weather was perfect for a drive in the country.  Sunny and 65.  David came home having taken hundreds of pictures.

He came home with a cotton ball.  And lots of combines harvesting cotton.  The B.B. Museum wa closed for Columbus Day but the Blues Musem was open, which he loved.  He brought T shirts for his sons from the museum plus a couple of mugs.  And they had lunch in Clarksburg.  That town once was a vibrant busy place.  But no longer.  But the good people of Clarksburg are trying to revive the place and turn it into the center of the Blues.  But it is not yet totally revived.

Before David went to the Delta I warned David that the most important aspect of the Delta was that it is flat.  Very flat.  And it is poor too.  But it has a mythical image for many people.  And David enjoyed the day.  Again, hats off to Chris.
