Visiting my buddy Eric Stone in Clarksdale, Mississippi. First stop, Square Books in Oxford. What a great bookstore! Signed stock, chatted, had coffee on the balcony overlooking the street. Dinner at Rust's, a restaurant/blues club inside an old cotton gin. A truly great hamburger, and the high-ceilinged club is called the Juke Joint Chapel. Then a dive juke joint called Club 2000, where we listened to Anthony "The Big A" Sherrod whose mission is to bring the blues back to the other side of town. Other from what? From the side where they still play the blues, across the tracks.

Photos to come, y'all.
