Thread Name: Help: a trip through the Delta
Subject: RE: Help: a trip through the Delta
Been away for a while and just got back to this thread. Spaw, yes I've just got hold of a copy. I haven't had the chance to go through it properly, but after a quick look I'd say it seems excellent and invaluable for any blues fan heading into the Delta (and further South in Mississippi). It looks to be pretty comprehensive in terms of all the sites covered, but still manages to give a considerable amount of detail. It gives good directions on how to find places - I checked out some of the places I visited and had trouble finding a few years back and with these directions it would have been no problem. It's a little too big for most pockets, but small enough to carry around with you and check without looking too much like a lost tourist. It also has a list of recommended reading reading and listening (to follow or precede your trip) and, very importantly, a good index, which I've often missed in other travel/guide books.

Bluegene, I recommend you get yourself a copy of this and then after your trip you can let us know just how useful it was.

Have fun!
