Roosevelt Dudley lives in Rosedale MS where the most common occupation is "gettin' a check" (i.e. welfare). Steel Reserve, a high gravity malt liquor is the local drink of choice.

Rosedale, a small town in the Mississippi Delta has a rich blues music heritage. It was immortalized in the line "going down to Rosedale, my rider by my side....." from the song "Crossroads" by Eric Clapton / Cream. Rosedale is the location of MS HW#1 and #8, known as the "Crossroads" where in the 1930s blues legend, Robert Johnson, supposedly traded his soul at midnight to the devil for his musical ability.

I brought Roosevelt a print of this photo six months after I made it. He gave me the hat he was wearing in the photo as a show of his gratitude. Unfortunately it had a nest of roaches living inside

Spectacular! Been down to Rosedale myself to see the Crossroads.

Happen to have attended a Tedeschi Trucks Band concert last night.

Unbelievable musicians and singers who honor the Delta Blues constantly, as their inspirations.

Have you posted other music related stuff on here? I'd enjoy seeing it.
