Leaf River Blues Band Playing @ The Big Muddy


I'm giving a shout-out to my son-in-law, Stan Bryant, who will be playing tomorrow night at The Big Muddy here in my hometown of Vicksburg, MS.  Stan plays the guitar and I wish I could be there for his first-time performance but had made reservations to go to our annual Saint Francis/St. Aloysius Banquet at the same time frame.  It will be 58 years for our graduating Class of 1959!  I really hate to miss this but hopefully, next time when his band plays, I will be able to go.  Info below for the event.

Leaf River Blues Band and Friends (Delta Blues)

Public · Hosted by The BIG MUDDY and Vicksburg Blues Society
Tomorrow at 7 PM - 10 PM
1414 Washington St., Vicksburg, Mississippi  39180

Northbound/Southbound Tows

I went by the Mississippi Visitors Center this morning and saw a towboat northbound by my app FINDSHIP that it was the M/V Steve E Bryan. 

A huge tow...

...coming under the bridges.

I-20 on the left and old Hwy 80 on the right.


Cannons on the overlook lawn at the Mississippi Visitor Center in my Civil War hometown of Vicksburg, MS.

Before I went by the MS Visitor Center, I stopped by the Louisiana Circle and saw the M/V Robert L Posey southbound towards the bridges. 
  
M/V Robert L Posey southbound with loaded containers heading to it's destination.  Safe travels to both towboats on the Mighty Mississippi River.

Fishing With Ally!

Ally, granddaughter of Kenny and Suzanne Byrd of Edinburg, MS, recently caught her a fish in the family pond.  She caught it on her pink fishing pole and looks like she is really enjoying herself with that priceless smile.  Congratulations to Ally in our great wild and wonderful Mississippi outdoors!
