On Saturday, March 9th at Rose Hill Cemetery in Memphis, a very special event took place to dedicate a headstone for Charlie Burse of the Memphis Jug Band. Michael Jones represented the Jubilee and spoke. Lots of friends of the Jubilee took part, including our good friends, The Jake Leg Stompers. We will be sharing more photos and videos from this special day and the Jubilee is happy to have played a small part in honoring this Jug Band great.
