Eddie talks about Being Eddie Cotton Jr, what he wants the world to know about him and his "Mississippi Cotton Club" and more, such as his concept, the "If Dimension" and his idea for "The Cotton Call" in Part 1. He also discusses Mississippi as the Birthplace of America's Music, Blues in general and then very specifically, and his love for what he does. In Part 2, he talks about the future of the "business of music" in Mississippi, and the world actually, and more about the "If Dimension" and the "Cotton Call", revealing his heart, not just for the industry, but for the people in the industry.
