Commemorating the Blues: A Moment at Robert Johnson Memorial Highway

At the crossroads of music history, a moment of reflection unfolds. My husband stands poised, pointing to the street number on Robert Johnson Memorial Highway, as the life-size statue of the legendary blues musician looks on. The glass window display of the museum behind him adds a touch of elegance, while my own reflection in the glass creates a sense of intimacy. This photograph captures a fleeting moment of connection to the rich musical heritage of the Mississippi Delta.
