The House of Music II

Mississippi

Mississippi John Hurt Museum

I found this picture the other day and am happy to report that Mississippi John Hurt's home has long been a museum dedicated to all that is truly tribute to him . . . . . . 

Needs some music . . . . . . 

and I have been banging on about where Lovin' Spoonful got their name and this was one of the first songs I heard John play thanks to my brother Steve as he loved him . . . . . 

this brought up the issue of the American term Shotgun Shack which I never knew what it meant until seeing these and Elvis' birthplace. The family allegedly only stayed here for a few years and had to move out when Elvis was still a toddler as his parents could not keep up the payments which really begs the question what on earth did they move into then!? 

Elvis Presley's birthplace Tupelo, Mississippi 

if you own the copyright of either of these images please let me know and I will credit you or remove

Never been much of an Elvis fan (Presley not Costello!) but there are the remixes . . . . . this clip is as camp as it got . . . . . . . closeted for good!

This is what it should have sounded like . . . . . . . experts stuff

TURN IT UP!

 *The term shotgun shack means that if one shot a gun through the front door it would go straight through and out the back! Trust America to name a type of building after what happens when you shoot it!
