University Florida School of Music alum Robert Ponzio's “The Color of Blues,” a huge, carved wooden installation, has been chosen for permanent display at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center's historic “Club Ebony" in Indianola, Mississippi. Club Ebony is where B.B. King’s musical career began.

At the reception, Ponzio created a live, improvisational painting which now also hangs at the club. Check out his blog post with a short video explaining the museum and the installation of the piece.
