After the tragic death of saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker, his friend poet Ted Joans began writing “Bird Lives” all over New York City. The campaign took a life of its own, and BIRD LIVES can still occasionally be found scrawled on sidewalks, walls and bathroom stalls.

This official Mississippi Blues Trail shirt features a real photo of the Highway 61 Blues Trail Marker, framed in the state of Mississippi, with the Mississippi Blues Logo at the top. Often called the “Blues Highway,” Highway 61 runs through the Mississippi Delta and is closely associated with the migration of blues musicians and the spread of the music to the north. The marker was established in 2008 at the Gateway to the Blues near Tunica, Mississippi.
