Country Store, Arkansas © joni bishop This old country store is..(or was)..in Mt. View Arkansas where I've been many times to perform at the Ozark Folk Center.  Like everything else old & cool, the store was torn down, and a Super Wal-Mart built across the street. I'm glad I took a photo. - jb

Best Girlfriends © joni bishop I didn't get their names, but I could tell that these two little girls were a team. The picture was taken at an outdoor festival, and they were having the best time, doing what best girlfirends do on a Saturday afternoon in the park. - jb

Second Line, New Orleans © joni bishop This gentleman was the proud participant in a Second Line parade at the Jazz & Hertitage Festival in New Orleans a few years ago.  It was before Katrina.  The Spirit of New Orleans somehow carries it forward, hopefully to new and better tinmes. Laissez les bon temps rouler! - jb

Midnight in Memphis © joni bishop I've been to Memphis and through Memphis often. This photo of an empty street was taken a few blocks from the Lorraine Hotel where Dr. M.L. King was shot. The Hotel is now the Civil Rights Museum.  The street probably hasn't changed much. - jb
