I’m from Jackson but the delta starts at Yazoo City about 35 miles northwest
We had deer and duck camps all over it and I had Women I knew all over it too
My cousin lives in Indianola and used to manage the BB King museum
Her son married a delta scioness there last year at the former home of a former us senator
She’s queen of the delta arguably socially...
It’s a unique place
White Gentry
Black blues legacy which is rich
Great waterfowl hunting
The sadness is agri business has taken over and few jobs with mechanization
Most black live on handouts ....
White families lease out their plantations for 200 an acre bare lease
Some families pocket a million a year mailbox money
Cotton seed is expensive and they figure let Bunge or ADM or Cargill take the risk
Black blues,an some of who, I saw ...Son Thomas, Sonny and Brownie, Furry Lewis and I produced a BB king show once at Ole Miss
My dad knew BB personally
Blues players
I like Son House best ......and Charley Patton
