Road Rambling with Mississippi Fred

A short slideshow from today's ramblings. A couple of years ago I mentioned "Mississippi Fred McDowell" in another piece entitled Runnin' The Roads. In that piece I mention that Fred is kind of special to me, seeing how we both at one time in our lives lived and farmed in Rossville, Tennessee - and in the end, it appears as if we both will share the same territory as well. Today I decided it was time to pay my respects to Mississippi Fred...and I thought it was only right to share it with you.

From Wikipedia: "The memorial stone was a replacement for an inaccurate and damaged marker (McDowell's name was misspelled) and the original stone was subsequently donated by McDowell's family to the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi."
