The museum is a must-see for visitors, with artifacts, live performances and interactive galleries to preserve blues cultural material for future blues musicians, lovers and historians. In 1892, W.C. Handy, who later wrote "St. Louis Blues", first came to St. Louis, then the fourth largest city in the United States. At 19, he slept on a trumpet on the cobblestones of the Mississippi River, listening to his ragged guitarist play a tune called East St. Louis over and over again, and later said it was the first time he had heard blues, and perhaps the first time he had tasted life frustration "Blues". In 1956, Ike Turner came to St. Louis with his "Rhythm King" band. How popular was the "Rhythm King"? They played in St. Louis every day until midnight, then across the Mississippi River to the East Side until dawn. It was here that Turner met his third wife, Tina Turner, and Tina Turner, 16, began her legendary "rock queen" career. St. Louis is also a famous place for music pilgrimage! 🎸🎸🎸 Freedom, unfettered blues spirit, emotional catharsis and original attitude to life, enjoy freedom and happiness in modern life!
