Imagine‚ if you will‚ a gathering of one thousand people‚ or more‚ in Mississippi in the year 1904. An event that would look much like a 4th of July picnic in Any Small Town U.S.A.

Its funny because before it actually got to this point‚ I was telling everyone in a fit of joy how I had finally got my first show and how they should come and support me.
