Talk:Teoc, Mississippi

Untitled
The Mississippi Blues Trail perhaps thinks Mississippi John Hurt's birth place is Avalon, Mississippi. – Mattisse (Talk) 22:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Lawrence Cohen, the blues ethnomusicologist, interviewed Hurt, who said he was born in Teoc; see the References of the main article. Also, the Mississippi John Hurt entry lists Teoc as his birthplace. Hurt did grow up in Avalon. Unfortunately, there is little information about Teoc out there, it was always a tiny spot on the map, apparently.Billwhittaker (talk) 13:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * So is Avalon, Mississippi a tiny spot. Actually, I found some mention that he lived between the two places as it is in between the two spots that the Mississippi Blues Trail has selected  to  place the historical marker.  – Mattisse  (Talk) 17:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
