I attended the 1999 Delta Blues Festival in Greenville, Mississippi along with about 10,000 other friends of the blues.  Here are a few scenes from that day.

Nationally known musicians such as Big Time Sarah Streeler, Bobbie Rush, Johnny Rawls and Little Milton appeared on the main stage.  The crowd went nuts when Bobbie Rush came on stage--saw the same thing the next year at the 2000 Delta Blues Festival--he puts on a heck of a show just like he did at the 2000 show!

It felt like 1,000 degrees Farenheit in the sun that day, but the sky was a beautiful "Kodachrome blue" with just some wispy clouds and a brilliant blue color.  The admission price was right, $15.00, with parking included!  Unlike a lot of music festivals and concerts, it took only three minutes to be guided from the concert's front gate to where you parked your car which was less than one half block from the festival site. 

Of course, as luck would have it, I left my trusty sun hat home in Ohio, right on the shelf where it wouldn't get very hot at all in the closet!  So what did I do?
