Spent hours, could spend days.There is a room where visitors can pull up selections from every member of the Hall. One can sit for hours savoring The Blues.They are all here from Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bessie Smith, Leadbelly and Handy through BB King, Muddy Waters, Ray Charles and Ike Turner to Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dr. John and Bonnie Raitt.“Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin? Can you tell me where he’s gone? He freed a lot of people But it seems the good die young But I just looked around and he’s gone.”
