Students took part in a program that teaches the history of the blues in Alabama.
The Dothan Eagle reports that Mixon Elementary School students jammed with members of the Alabama Blues Project to learn more about the genre's history through the Blues in the Schools program.
The band performed for students at the school for about an hour Thursday, interjecting lessons about the blues and its roots in the Wiregrass between songs.
Debbie Bond is the co-founder of the project. Her and members of the Blues in Schools Project demonstrated classic blues instruments and told students about the history of the blues - including information about local blues legends.
Thursday's performance was part of the Wiregrass Blues Fest, which finished yesterday.
