STAX MUSEUM AND RECORDING STUDIO

STAX MUSEUM AND

RECORDING STUDIO

I will be at West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center in Brownsville, TN for its annual I-40 Exit 56 Blues Festival, May 28, 2011 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. They have invited me to do a book signing as a fundraiser for the Center.

I have been doing blogs related to Blues and the Festival. This week I am doing one on Stax Museum. They sent a recipe for Greens. It is a GREAT recipe for Greens using Turnip, Mustard, and Collard Greens. I know it is great, because I just made it.

The Stax Museum of American Soul Music, located at the original site of the legendary Stax Records is the heart of Soulsville USA at 926 E. McLemore Ave., Memphis, Tennessee. This 17,000-square-foot facility with more than 2,000 cultural artifacts, music exhibits, video footage, and items of memorabilia is designed to preserve and promote the legacy of American soul music, particularly that of Stax Records. With permanent Soul Music Exhibits
, like Soul Train.

The mission of the Stax Museum is to keep the memory of Stax soul
music legends such as Otis Redding, Booker T, Isaac Hayes, Memphis Horns, and Little Milton alive forever.

Stax is the only soul music museum in the world and you'll find programs, special events, concerts, exhibits, and memorabilia dedicated to other soul music artists and labels, including that of Muscle Shoals, Motown, Atlantic, and Hi Records.

Don’t forget to stop by this Saturday for the Blues Festival in Brownsville, some really good music, and a SIGNED copy of my cookbook “Country Goodness Recipes of Tennessee Celebrities.”
