2012 Newsletters and Advisories

Newsletter - December 2012

Vol 5, No 3 - The Delta Blues is one very local musical culture that has been heard around the world. To make sure that this great music and its rich history continue to sound out loud and clear, we've built the Muddy Waters Addition, a new, 7,300-square foot expansion of our gallery space that features our Muddy Waters collection and special exhibits. Among our many Muddy artifacts are the cabin he grew up in on Stovall Farms; the "Muddywood" guitar, made from wood from the cabin and donated to us by ZZ Top; a replicaof the 1939 auto in which Alan Lomax drove up to the cabin to record Muddy for the Library of Congress in 1940; and many more items.
