Gubernatorial
debate at DSU proves to
be thrilling |
This
past Tuesday night at the DSU Bologna Performing Arts Center,
gubernatorial candidates Democrat Governor Ronnie Musgrove and
Republican challenger Haley Barbour delivered perhaps their most
exciting exchange in the third of four debates.
Sponsored
by WABG-TV6 and the Delta Business Journal, just as the
lights in the audience were dimmed and the stage lights were turned
on, the circus atmosphere began.

Journey
to Clarksdale |
The
filming of Journey To Clarksdale at Ground Zero is being rescheduled
for the Spring of 2004. However, the ten days between October 17th
and October 26th in Clarksdale will still offer treats for true
blues fans with local juke joints and clubs presenting a wide variety
of blues.
Blues Panel
The
Delta Blues Museum will present Bobby Rush, Cedric Burnside,
Jimbo Mathis, and James "Super Chikan" Johnson,
along with moderators Dr. Sylvester Oliver (Rust College)
and Dr. Jeffrey H. Jackson (Rhodes College) who will conduct
a discussion concerning the effect of popular music on Mississippi
blues with a focus on history and ethnomusicology. |
|
This program will document artistic response to mass commercialization
from the other side of the tracks, from the point of view of rural
Mississippi blues musicians. This discussion will be held on Saturday,
October 18, 2003 from 1- 3 p.m. It is free to the public. This event
is sponsored in part by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities
Council.
