Blues Hall of Fame Inductee--Named a "Classic of Blues Literature" by the Blues Foundation, 2019

This remarkable book recovers three invaluable perspectives, long thought to have been lost, on the culture and music of the Mississippi Delta.

In 1941 and '42 African American scholars from Fisk University--among them the noted composer and musicologist John W. Work III, sociologist Lewis Wade Jones, and graduate student Samuel C. Adams Jr.--joined folklorist Alan Lomax of the Library of Congress on research trips to Coahoma County, Mississippi. Their mis­sion was "to document adequately the cul­tural and social backgrounds for music in the community." Among the fruits of the project were the earliest recordings by the legendary blues singer and guitar­ist Muddy Waters.

The hallmark of the study was to have been a joint publica­tion of its findings by Fisk and the Library of Congress. While this publication was never completed, Lost Delta Found is com­posed of the writings, interviews, notes, and musical transcriptions produced by Work, Jones, and Adams in the Coahoma County study. Their work captures, with compelling immediacy, a place, a people, a way of life, and a set of rich musical tra­ditions as they existed in the 1940s.


Illustrated with photos and more than 160 musical transcriptions.

Display ornaments
Color: Gold
I used two Lolalet stands to display special Christmas ornaments that represent countries I have visited. They look terrific displayed this way! I will purchase more as my travels continue.

I wish it was a little bit taller
Color: Black, Color: Black
I love the way this necklace stand looks. It is visually captivating and has a sculpture-like appearance. I looked at a lot of other necklace stands and didn’t see another that didn’t require pulling one necklace over another to get it off and is visually appealing. There are a lot that do one, but not the other. I do wish it was 1.5” taller or spiraled down at a little bit shorter pace. I have mostly long necklaces and the bottom few hooks won’t be usable. Also, I feel like there could be a bit less space between the hooks which would allow more hooks to be inserted. Overall I think this is great! It is beautiful and generally very useful.

No more tangled necklaces.
Color: Black
I found the necklace stand to be exactly what was needed. It's not to tall or short and can be adjusted with the rods. Great for the price.

Large capacity in a small footprint
Color: Black, Color: Black
I teach jewelry making classes, and I like to have examples set out ahead of time to inspire students, or demonstrate certain techniques they will be learning. The problem is always having enough space for cording, beads, spacers, and work stations, as well as the demo items. This excellent tall necklace stand is helping me solve this space issue, because it is designed to be such an efficient use of vertical space. It comes disassembled, but takes only minutes to assemble. The metal was smooth, and the packaging prevented any scratches in shipping. I was able to hang a dozen (I only doubled up on one space) necklaces in a very small footprint of countertop, each slightly separated, and students could quickly remove each one without any tangling. These are so efficient, and I will order again. They would also be great for a vanity or bath countertop, or on a shelf, for personal jewelry storage.
