B.B. King and Sacred Place/outside reading...Crystal Cyr

This semester, as I was writing my research paper, my favorite story about place was B.B. King's story. I love that he ritually visited the Mississippi Delta area every year to play at the same juke joints he played at since he learned to play the blues. One of those juke joints was Club Ebony. Not only did King play at Club Ebony every year, he also met and fell in love with his wife there. She happened to be the club owner's daughter. Later, when the owner decided to retire and the club went up for sale, B.B.King bought it. In his autobiography King stated that the place was special to him since it was were, fifty years earlier he, "found love back down in the Delta."
