Could it actually be in the water? The cities and towns along the Mississippi River have produced so many amazing musical artists. Chuck Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Miles Davis in Alton, Illinois. Downriver is Memphis, Tennessee where Elvis Presley spent his formative years. New Orleans, Louisiana was the birthplace of Louis Armstrong.
Although W.C. Handy wrote "St. Louis Blues," he spent only a part of 1893 there. Enough to have a city park named after him, at least.
