Home of the Blues — The Golden Buckle

Today we're in Clarksdale, Mississippi, home of Mississippi Delta Blues. And, according to a friend's Wikipedia research, the "Golden Buckle of the Cotton Belt." We're hoping to not only talk to some of the local people about the election in November. . . we'd like to find a blues artist here to sing a couple of takes of the title song.

We're coming into the homestretch and planning to be back in Dallas by next Wednesday. By the way, because we want an hispanic presence in the film, IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE who owns a restaurant or other business in Dallas' latino community who might let us use it as a site to interview people, please let us know. A warm introduction, of course, is best. But if all you have is a name. . . bring it. This is one perspective, one voice, we're missing in our tour of the South. We may not agree with all the voices in our film but we strongly believe in letting all voices be heard. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Contact us privately through FB Messenger or here through the Contact page. Thanks.
