BS: Gee's Bend

Does anyone know of a place called "Gee's Bend"? It's in Mississippi or Alabama.

I think I spelled it correctly.

Looks as though it is in Alabama, Rapaire, according to this info at npr: The Quilts of Gee's Bend. It even gives history on where its name came from.

That, Kat, is why I was asking -- the exhibit of the quilts is going to Milwaukee and my wife is going up to see it.

I wonder about music from there....

Those quilts look amazing -- I bet though they will never come to Oz, I would love to see them.
