The Art – “Tribute to Blind Boone”
(Turn on the sound and listen to Boone's music played by Bob Ault)

This mural is a tribute to one of Columbia’s finest and most revered sons, John William “Blind” Boone. Boone was a man of extraordinary talents, worldwide fame and endless generosity, who overcame great obstacles and fought through adversities with love, kindness and faith.

However, it has also been said that Boone was a madman on the keys and sometimes would play so strong he would destroy pianos. Legend has it that his depiction of nature in “The Marshfield Tornado” ensued fear and panic in the audience so much that some ran for cover.

Today Columbia, Moissouri is in the mist of rebuilding his house, which was once a home with an open door and endless melodies. Through our community’s historic restoration, we can once again celebrate the life of “Blind” Boone and his legacy as a source of inspiration.
