Bentonia, Mississippi: where the Bentonia School of Delta Blues originiated and location of the world famous Blue Front Caf�� Bentonia is Blues uniqueness and prolificity. Henry Stuckey, Skip James, Jack Owens, Jimmy �Duck� Holmes, Benjamin �Bud� Spires, Jacob Stuckey, Cornelius Bright, etc., honed (the extant continue�) their craft in & around the Blue Front Caf�. Current Blues artists continue the trend. For example, the Original Harlem Slim, Tito Deler, on his way to Bentonia:
Tito Deler will be back for the 45th Annual Bentonia Blues Festival June 12 - 16, 2017, at the Blue Front Caf� and June 17, 2017, for a full day of music at Jimmy �Duck� Holmes� farm! Okay, can we all shout BENTONIA?!! With typical bureaucratic embellishment, the US Postal Service announces Mississippi�s bicentenary stamp with none other than Jimmy �Duck� Holmes� (owner of Bentonia�s Blue Front Caf�, https://www.facebook.com/bluefrontrecords/?fref=ts, https://www.facebook.com/bluefrontcafeblues/) hands and guitar in a photo by Lou Bopp. Epic.
