There's a new African-American music museum underway as we speak in Nashville, if you are going that way by then. Covering blues, gospel, soul and jazz nationally but also within Nashville itself. I'm in discussions with the director / curator given the stuff I did on Nashville R&B recently. Still being built, it opens in a year or two I think.
