A lot of people don't realize thatVicksburg is about 300 feet above the river
The confederates had big guns and morters up here... dropping hell-fire on the union troops trying to get up or doen the river..

We headed north to Clarksdale, MS as I reported before... very few actors impress me... most are so self absorbed that they get in the way of the charactors they portray.
Morgan Freeman is in my opinion one of our best actors... when I knew that we could vary our route home and pass through his town without much effort... i knew that he had a "Blues Club"... and I always liked the Blues sound starting from when I was stationed in Biloxi, MS in 1958.
we had no idea what to expect.... I doubt that many of you do either.
This is the Delta Blues Club.... in the light of day.

It looks a little better when we got the picture upright... took the lean out of the old building... btw, I think there are hotel rooms upstairs.

The building is very close to the rail road and accross from the Historic Passenger Station... now a very nice Blues Museum.
I'm pretty sure that the building was a warehouse at one time... very long ago.
The building is absolutely covered with signatures... graffitti is some folks eyes.

I parked our truck camper far to the rear near the abandoned RR tracks... knowing we just might overnight there....
We eventually saw this parking area filled.

On the way to the Delta Museum Janet was having problems with the injured left shoulder... she couldn't close the snaps on her Jacket...
She didn't want to hurry home.... putting off the doctor as long as possible.
