The Great Club, Ground Zero
After grabbing a quick shower, we headed
out to Ground Zero.
Guitar Mikey was playing that night and
it was great.
I had a chance to meet with his manager
and we sat and talked for a great while.
The conversation was so good combined
with the great music coming from the
stage that the whole evening was just
as close to perfect as I could have
wanted.
We got to the club a little later than
we had expected but where able to order
some dinner before the kitchen closed.
Danny got a fried catfish Po Boy and
I opted for the Shrimp Po Boy. There
wasn't a lot on the menu that would
work with the diet I'm on, but hey,
how often do I get to take a trip to
The Mississippi Delta? It was a
special occasion, so I went ahead and
ate it...the food is really good at
Ground Zero.
Guitar Mikey had the crowd wailin' and
up on their feet. I'm not a big drinker
so after having a Guinness Stout, I switched
over to water. Fear of being jailed so
far from home was weighing pretty
heavily on my mind. Besides, this was so
much fun, who needed a buzz anyway?
I got the opportunity to talk with Mr.
Guitar Mikey and what a great guy. It
was easy to decide that he would be the
next Featured Artist on Blues City Radio.
It was one of those nights where you just
didn't want the music to stop, but all
good things do come to an end.
We headed back over to the bin where we
were staying and it was toasty warm
inside. The room looked so inviting
and I was a tired camper. Sleep came
quickly, but not as quickly as the
morning sun.
We had a whole new day to spend in
Clarksdale!

Life got Better In Clarksdale, MS
After getting back to the hotel from the awful
restaurant experience, I decided that moving
on was our best bet.
I sent out a quick email to the awesome guys
at The Shack Up Inn in Clarksdale to see if I
could get another night there. Two nights in
Clarksdale would be a great boon for us.
Like rapid fire, I got an email back saying
that the Shack I had reserved would not
be available, but there was another one
that I could get or I could stay in one of
"the bins". BONUS! We could get out
of Jackson and be on our way to the
Crossroads!
First thing Wednesday morning, we got
packed up and I hit the front desk hoping
that I would not have to pay for a second
night that I wasn't going to be able to use.
The woman at the desk was quite nice and
asked how was my stay. I said it was fine
except for that gang of cockroaches in the
bathroom that partied all night. She was
horrified and promptly said that my stay
was free and apologized profusely! Yeah,
that was the highlight of my stay in that
town!
We hit the road for Clarksdale.
The weather had turned cold and wet.
I'm an avid fan of the Weather Channel
and had been keeping vigilant watch on
what we could expect on the trip. This
was not in the forecast! EGAD!
No problem, I had a couple of long sleeve
shirts but no Winter shoes to speak of.
It would all work out just fine.
We got to Clarksdale and found our way
to The Shack Up Inn. Check out this
great video!

Top Ten Week of February 15, 2009
Ok folks, just want it to be known that I have
nothing to do with how songs are ranked on the
station. It's all done by popular vote by the
listeners themselves as they are listening.
I say this because this week's Top 10 is a little
more unusual than some. Not a bad thing, just
an observance on my part.
1. John Lee Hooker - Rainy Day - Don't Look Back
2. Ry Cooder- David Lindley - Alimony - The Ry Cooder Anthology: The UFO Has Landed
3. Rising Sons - If the River Was Whiskey (Divin' Duck Blues) - Rising Sons Featuring Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder
4. Rocky Jackson - What Was She Thinkin? - Squeeze Here
5. Rocky Jackson - Blues for Texas - Squeeze Here
6. Rocky Jackson - Treats Me Like A Dog - Squeeze Here
7. Ry Cooder - Feelin' Bad Blues - Crossroads: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
8. Buddy Guy, John Mayall - I Could Just Lay Down And Die - Duets
9. Charley Drumm - Big Boss Man - DEMOS, FULL LENGTH
10. James Cotton - Fatuation - 35th Anniversary Jam

The Blues with The Doobie Brothers
It's a cold rainy gray day here in Beaumont.
Church service was totally great this morning
and the band was rockin'. I love the contemporary
bands that many churches have today.
And now in an effort to take a few days off for the
holidays, I find myself trying to find something to
watch on the ole boob tube.
Came across a Doobie Brothers concert in Hi Def!
I love the Hi Def stuff and feel like it was worth
it to have invested in a flat panel HD television.
So this is the "old school" (pre Michael McDonald)
Doobie Brothers. I was such a fan before Mr. McDonald
added his own interpretation of what a doobie should
sound like. Yeah, you get me on this one...
Not only are they playin' some great Classic Rock
stuff, but even a little resonator slide stuff
slipped in for good measure that just really blows
the lid off a swirling pot of blues that goes to show
ya what a talented bunch of guys the Doobie
Brothers really are.
Yeah, I gotta say, I'm still a fan of their old stuff
and so happy to see that they're doing it again.
