| Governor
Musgrove announces the Mississippi Blues Commission
|
This
Week, Governor Ronnie Musgrove announced he has signed an
executive order creating the Mississippi Blues Commission
to develop a marketing plan for Mississippi to take advantage
of our rich musical heritage known worldwide as the "blues."
"Mississippi is the undisputed birthplace of the blues,
not Memphis or Chicago," stated Musgrove. "Life
in the Mississippi Delta was shaped by the land, the river
and a people who found release and expression in a profound
musical form that came to be known as the 'blues.'"

"Musicians
from all over the world come to Mississippi to explore the musical
roots of the blues," stated Darienne Wilson, director of
the MDA's Division of Tourism. "The formation of the Blues
Commission will enable Mississippi to further enhance the blues
to musicians and fans across the nation and the world."
