It's Tuesday evening an no one has yet posted any recognition of the NY Times article on Highway 61 from Friday, April 19th edition (found in a new "Times" section called Escapes). Article title (the lead article BTW of the section) "Driving the Blues Trail In Search of a Lost Muse." The piece, complete with a road map, traces the towns along Mississipi's Highway 61 (it actually starts in Memphis Tenn) where those blues legends lived and played. It's really a travel article but shows an understanding and gives information on the birth-places of the blues. Damn, I never realized it before! That Dylan album title of four decades ago referred to this Mississippi road! Please respond: did you know that?
