Francis Camillo joined Rand's group

This group is for anyone who loves, has lived in, or is living in Mississippi. The state's nickname, "The Birthplace of American Music" was given to it for a reason. Mississippi is known for its invention of many primitive istruments including the diddley bow some forms of the cigar box guitar.See More
