On Christmas day in 1954, rising R&B star Johnny Ace was backstage for a short intermission, and in an effort to prove the gun he was playing with wasn’t loaded, put it to his temple and killed himself instantly. Big Mama Thornton witnessed the accident, saying his hair stood straight up when the gun fired.

This official Mississippi Blues Trail shirt features a real photo of the James Cotton Mississippi Blues Trail Marker, framed in the state of Mississippi, with the Mississippi Blues Logo at the top. Located in Tunica, Mississippi, the marker honors the legendary harmonica player whose powerful style bridged Delta blues and Chicago blues. The marker was added to the Mississippi Blues Trail in 2008.
