At the Crossroads is a culmination of conversations between different generations on the topic of the Blues. In an attempt to keep the blues alive, Dr. Tom Buckmiller's Freshman Seminar class at Drake University matched students with passionate fans of blues music from the Des Moines, Iowa area to talk about why they love the music in the way they do. These conversations took place in coffee shops, restaurants, and music venues. The students were excited to learn from these seasoned blues fan and did their best to write chapters that honored their conversations. The future of the blues, as we know it, may be uncertain, but these conversations, across generations, helped this class of young adults understand and better appreciate this genre. And maybe in some way, these conversations will help keep the blues alive.
