A small group of us will be driving from N.O. to Memphis next week 02/05-02/07. We "need" some Blues to keep our spirits up. Hopefully an open jam to. Any suggestions? Also any blues related sites. Thanks, Bill {Black Swamp Blues Society} Toledo, Ohio

If you're in Memphis, keep your eyes peeled for a fellow named Richard Johnston. I think he plays at a place called the Flying Saucer there. He is the most amazing act you're likely to see. I saw him down here in South Florida a while back at the Bamboo Room and it was somethin' worth talkin' about later, so I did a review here. Go see him if you can. Nobody plays an electric broom stick like Richard. Simply amazin'...

Here's another site where you'll find maps and locations to the real thing while down in the delta. Junior's Juke Joint(clickit) will take you to the bluesiest roadhouses down there.
This is what Junior tells us is the major differences between a southern honky-tonk and Delta Juke Joint:
  • The race of the customers.
  • The race of the girls in the beer posters.
  • The predominant type of music on the jukebox.
  • The price of beer.
  • The amount of violence.

Check him out, he's got the best written blues site on the internet and you may find some places you can visit along the way.
