"'The Singing River.' The famous Singing River (Pascagoula) located on U. S. 90 between Biloxi, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama is known throughout the world for its very mysterious music. The singing sound, like a swarm of bees in flight is best heard in late summer and autumn months in the stillness of the late evening. Barely caught at first, the music seems to grow nearer and louder until it sounds as though it comes from directly under foot. An old legend connects the sound with the mysterious extinction of the Pascagoula tribe of Indians." Greeting card. Side 2.
