went down to the crossroads...






Went to Clarksdale, MS and visited the Delta Blues Museum and Ground Zero Blues Club. Saw a ton of exhibits on most of the old blues players. Pictures don't do it justice and they have plans to add a $3M addition. Yes!!!! It gives one a true appreciation of the area and it's historic meaning to blues music. Had a great audio and video presentation on Muddy Waters. Included is the cabin where he was born. The list of musicians is too long to list. We'll have to consider making the trip again when the addition is added.

Then went to Ground Zero Blues Club for lunch. Signed the table where we ate and also the stage.....What a dream place to perform in....This is the place shown on the PBS blues special a while back. Morgan Freeman (the actor) and his partner bought it and have restored it to the juke joint it once was. Unfortunately we won't be able to get back when they have live music. the vibe is unreal.
