Post Description

" Blues music, Gospel, Jazz, Spirituals, Soul and R&B are all branches of the same river. The river runs deep. When we drink from one we drink from all." Guitarist, composer, and recording artist Ted Shumate was born in Meridian, Mississippi. His earliest musical experiences were the gospel music of the Southern Baptist Church and native Delta Blues. "I was born in Mississippi in the hospital but my family lived out in the country. We lived over a country store that my grandfather owned. As was the custom of the Deep South in the early 1950''s all families had Black ''Nannies'' that watched the children for working families. My parents were school teachers so my early child care was with the singing of rural blues, spirituals, work songs, field chants and church songs. Two years later we moved to the Mississippi Delta to a town called Greenville with a new Nanny and lived there for two years." "You have to understand there was a whole lot of music going on all the time. Both my grandmother and step-grandmother were church pianist. My step-granmother was the pianist at a rural Church of God and she taught me Amazing Grace on the piano when I was four.
