On I-55, get off on the Senatobia exit and turn left (away from town) down Highway 4. Go approximately three Miles down that road to Gravel Springs Road (the second road to the right on 4 from Senatobia). Turn right on Gravel Springs Road. Go to the second 4-way stop and turn left (that road is OB McClinton Road) Follow that road about a half mile and the Turner’s Picnic is on the right there will be lots of cars & people gathered there. Park along the side of the road.

good morning all...Doug, thanks for sharing this music...I've been reading Amiri Baraka's " Blues People" so this is a great sample...was unaware that the fife was used by Blues musicians...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:14am
Doug Schulkind:

The fife and drum universe is pretty insular scene, having existed largely for its own self enchantments. The popular fife and drum repertoire is a relatively short set list. Top songs are "Sitting on Top of the World," which we won't hear in this set, and "Shimmy Shewobble," which we will!

I LOVE biggest wind energy at certain times and places, but funny how unfriendly the blowing can be. On a few occasions when I've ridden along the Cape Cod Canal, ya got a headwind for the several miles one way. By the time you've hung out at the beach at one end and start the return ride, it's the time of day when wind has tuuuurned by a seeming 180 degrees, and ya got Headwind and the Angry Inching all over again, with that special waterway way of feeling windtunnel-ish.
