Indianola, Ms. to be home to B.B. King Museum
His name is synonymous with the blues, and his guitar is the most famous
in the world. The legendary B.B. King had his start in his hometown of
Indianola, Mississippi. The town will be home to a new museum opening
this fall in tribute to the King of the Blues and the Mississippi Delta
that he calls home. If you have attended one of his performances, they
are like no other. I saw him several years ago play to a packed house at
Hal & Mals in Jackson, Mississippi. He has entertained around the world,
and will be here in Austin this weekend at the historic Austin Music
Hall. 
A
grand opening is scheduled for September 13, 2008 for the B.B.
King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola, Mississippi.
Look for more details in coming months, and visit their website. Also,
be sure to enter the “The Delta
Gateway Getaway” Vacation Sweepstakes for a chance to win a
3-night stay in the Mississippi Delta.
