ground zero blues club

in clarksdale, birthplace of the blues,
is a blues club, co-owned by morgan freeman
(a clarksdale native).
this blues club is a hopping place and a
destination for blues enthusiasts during the
many festivals which take place in this city.
when we were there, the smokers were being tended
for the world famous barbecue from this club.

a step inside, and i immediately realized just how
many visitors come here.  every surface had names
and dates permanently written with black markers.
i added my name to one of the pool table covers....
just to say that i had been there.

the sofas and chairs on the front porch....what can i
say?  it's a deep south "southern thang".

I love how even the blinds are covered in names.
