Profile Information

About Me:
I am an amateur photographer who loves the blues and the Mississippi Delta (because it will always be my Home regardless of where I live). I spent a long time being ashamed of my southern heritage and racing to leave MS, only to "grow up" and realize I love being a southern girl. I may need to leave for my education in photography and sustainable living, but I have a feeling I will end up back here eventually. I feel about the Delta like the guys in Old Crow Medicine Show feel about their home state (awesome outlaw NC bluegrass, check out their self-titled CD first), "Land that I know is where two rivers collide...Of any place on God’s green earth, this is where I choose to die" (from "Take 'Em Away")

Hey Becky:

Your photos are great. The station has settled and we're so proud of what we've built...Blues, News, and Interviews." It's really good stuff! Keep listening.

Most of the singers on your list are good old Mississippi Delta Blues singers and I've heard them all. Mr. Tater? I even bought a CD from him. I saw Bill Able the first time when he performed with Mr. Paul "Wine" Jones at Ground Zero Blues Club just before Mr. Jones died.

Mississippi. You'll be back!

I'll second Ken's comment. Your photos are really great. If you ever want to put up a few posts with photos and some words to tell the story, just say the word. I'm sure people on the site would dig looking at more of your work.

Thanks Becky. Glad ya like the place so far. We'll keep ya posted on new features we're working on...good stuff coming down the pike. Appreciate the excuse for occasional shoddiness...we'll try to keep that to a minimum, but we'll need the free pass from time to time.

Holy Cats, Becky. I am one impressed dawg. That's dedication. Glad you dig John's mojo. Did you ever hear the live CD I made with him - Steady Rollin' Man (you get the pun, I'm sure). Hey, when we come back to Oxford, where do you think we should play. Stay cool…- ted

Hey Tao Girl -- Where you been hiding? Missed you on my trip down South in December. I'll be back in Helena playing at Mother's Best Festival in June. Cheers, SC
