love that house and also the jazz players..
I've always wanted to live in a log cabin style home. Those metal jazz musician statues are awesome.
Love the metal sculptures and the old house!
I've never visited the house, but we try to make it to as many Handy Festival events as we can.
What a neat looking house- love the metal sculptures..very cool!
Love the look and feel of the home but those metal statues are just great.
another place i really need to see in person. i need to write it down. i love it!! so cool. ( :
Beautiful shot of the house and love those statutes!
Gorgeous little place!
It's great that the log cabin has survived! I'm sure this is one good music festival.
I cannot hear the name W. C. Handy without thinking of the song Walking in Memphis...which mentions it. Not written by him or anything in case someone isn't familiar with the song.
