One thing Gritzley found out while he visited us was that the Blues is a music form that began in the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta and is considered the only music original to the United States. The University of Mississippi Blues Archive in Oxford, contains the world's largest collection of Blues music.

Gritzley found a great website that shares much information about Mississippi. The website is http://www.visitmississippi.org/resources/facts_1.htm
