Mississippi is known for many things. Perhaps you have something original from Mississippi that is special to you. Many people enjoy blues music which has its roots in Mississippi.

In this episode I look at an unusual titled historical marker that lends itself not only to the history of Mississippi, but also brings in the story of a man known as the "Father of the Blues."

Come along with me and learn more about the rich history of our great nation.
