A letter of introduction...

On our own Mississippi Blues Trail Adventure and came across this tribute to @martin_maximum in a matchbox on the Skip James marker. Condolences to his family.

Found at Skip James's blues trail marker in Bentonia, MS.

@marvie3grl Thank you, Rosie

[Maximum Martin @martin_maximum]

Here I am, in Bentonia, Mississippi, chewing the dust with Skip James, a hero I missed my first time around.

Made an appearance with @tempus_fukit in Oxford's @HottyToddyNews courtesy of Berry Allison, Mose's sister-in-law. I can recommend the afterlife.

@VisitYazoo @AngieAway @RaeAway @TheJetSisters I'll be travelling back through the Delta soon

[Maximum Martin @martin_maximum]

More than a refuge. Between Money Road and the Tallahatchie River, isolated but for the ghosts who start to drift each night round twilight.

@MtZionFund @tempus_fukit A beautiful setting. John is a favourite. He taught me to play Beulah Land, which is where we are now.

[Maximum Martin @martin_maximum]

An echoey hello to my new followers. I'll be heading back through the Delta in a couple of weeks.
