BB King's favorite corner

The corner of Second and Church St. in Indianola, MS. has a special significance in blues history.  It is where a young BB King played for tips in the early 1940s.  It seems hard to imagine a time when blues musicians had to play on the street.  This is where BB King honed his craft to eventually become the "King of the Blues."
