I didn't get to see the Reverend Peyton on Friday or Saturday like I had planned, but got to see them this morning.  I got a good spot to stand on the sidewalk next to the "stage".  I think he played 4 or 5 different guitars.  Here are some pics.

I would love to do something like that.
A co-worker is a huge fan of blues and he has gotten me hooked on some of it recently.
Don't know a whole lot of the names yet but sure do enjoy the music, wife also, which makes it even more fun.

Here is a link to my Google photos album for my trip.  There are 800+ pictures if anyone is interested in looking at them.

The local Mississippi PBS stations ran this story recently.  If you have 5 minutes to spare, you can learn about what a struggling town, that was once one of the most booming economic towns in the South before the great migration North, is doing to revive itself.  It may bring back some memories for Reubenray who was there this year.

Thanks for sharing the link. Sounds like we need to stop in the next time we head down to the bayou.
