I spoke with Ben in February. We have never met face-to-face. This was an interesting interview. I hope listeners make a connection to him as I have with @benfoy  His self bio is Wannabe photographer/ daydreamer. Not just abandoned stuff 🙄 ^cripplingly self aware^- I think after this interview, we have more than photography and music in common. Fighting a step back with an unfortunate illness and...

Had a fun phone conversation with Blues artist Libby Rae Watson. I happened to find her traveling Instagram @liberaetor and talked food, travel, off the beaten path, her music. This is the edited version of a conversation that felt like I was talking to a friend I hadn't caught up with in awhile.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Get an insight into the museum. I've been going there since it was a living museum and now is a memorial. King made it his home and it is a place you want to stop by along your trip down the Delta Blues Highway.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show

I was doing an interview and Mrs. Delsie Davis walked in. Since my illness- pre-Covid and the podcast during covid, I came across audio, I had recorded six months before I lost memories. I have some of this trip but audio makes it sound like it was a good one. B.B. King says he has two years of his childhood he can't remember- I could not fathom but now I can. This is the beginning of the pod...

I really wanted this talk and it was on a drive from seeing family on back ways to Bentonia that I had this chat. There is more I hope to use in another episode down the road, but here is a great talk. It sound like you live your life and play/do what you will from the soul is what I'm learning from these artists. Amazing. It's worth the drive off the beaten path to this surviving Juke J...

Long time since the interview. And I've been band even though the museum can use the graphics on their website. I now want to take a road trip just to see the newest exhibit,  MTV Turns Forty: I Still Want My MTV.  I can't believe how time flies and how media changes so quickly for us.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Ok. yes, this is an artist that's not along the Delta Blues Highway, but you will find her playing three times at Clarksdale's 2022 Juke Joint Festival. She does love Delta Blues and acoustic music and her third CD is her first that she has written and is exploding internationally. This interview is different. I thought I didn't get the interview, then I had an email asking ,"h...

Once again, during CoVid, I had the honor of having a phone conversation with  Blues Artist Luscious Spiller. You don't hear it in the interview because of time, but he  is a man that says we all need to come tougher no matter Blue, Red, blah blah and be one. Music unites and y'all need to remember that. It's inspirational. If you get a chance to hear him play live, you will hear be...

Yes, I have been wanting to have an episode out every Friday. I have been on the road myself and so,  sorry listeners, this is what would have been Friday's episode. I have known Bubba O'Keeffe, when I was doing research on re-purposed gas station food and found out his family owned a few Stuckey's across the region. He's been an interesting man to always interview and  visit w...

Roger Stolle is an anchor to the community of Clarkdale and Blues Artists. I can't beleive it's now been...
