Yesterday, Sunday November 29, 2015, I found something on the Internet about a community in Mississippi that has ties to my family. The website asked for those with information to contact them, so I did. I have yet to receive a reply, but since this has to do with my family history, I’m going to post here on my website the same information I sent them. Hello, my name is Larry Gene Overton.

I’ve known this for a long time, but I wasn’t familiar with the instruments they played when they were young.
