For the past four years around the first of June a question forms on many mouths: “Are you going to The Picnic?”
The most common answer: “Yep!”
We had all been listening to R.L Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and Othar Turner for years and then the rest of the world caught up with us. These gentlemen have all passed away but they passed their talents on to the younger generation and even taught some friends a thing or two. Lucky for us! My husband, Steve,went to The Picnic the first year in 2006 and came home with some great tales of music and mayhem so I marked my calendar for 2007. We have enjoyed ourselves ever since, and in fact, The Picnic at Kenny Brown’s farm was part of our honeymoon in 2009! How many people do you know can say they honeymooned in Potts Camp, Mississippi?
