African Americans used blues to tell their story, usually sad ones with lots of rhythm. The Blues Museum has many trinkets and instruments from many famous blues artists as well as clothes they wore. I noticed that many of the Blues artist although coming from poor backgrounds all wore the nicest clothes and had the neatest instruments. One man had a bass guitar that was made out of an old gas canister. Although in a small town in Mississippi the Blues Museum in Clarksdale is known world wide and even saw visitors from across the country while we visited.
