WATCH IT ALL!
CLARKSDALE! It Is What It Is and The Sun Never Sets On Cool, - wise words from Redd Paden.
See this unique place through the eyes of music legend and multiple Grammy Award Winner Charlie Musselwhite and Chilly Billy Howell (formerly Poor William) of Delta Bohemian Tours and a Clarksdale born and raised native.
This is a real documentary about Clarksdale, Mississippi, heart of the Mississippi Delta and home of the birthplace of the blues. These shots were all taken spontaneously over the course of two days except for some of the music footage. Charlie Musselwhite loves Clarksdale and he let us follow him around some.
Footage of music from Red's Blues Club, Ground Zero Blues Club, Hambone Gallery, Juke Joint Chapel, Hopson Commissary and more. Musicians featured include Leo Bud Welch, Big George Brock, Robert Bilbo Walker, Lightnin' Malcolm, Josh Razorblade Stewart, Anthony Big A Sherrod, Christone Kingfish Ingram, Charlie Musselwhite, Walt Busby, Bill Abel, Jon Popper, Cedric Burnside, Stan Street, Lee Williams, Heather Crosse, and more.
A big thank you to our dear friends Charlie and Henrietta Musselwhite and Charles Evans for letting us film them as they wandered around their beloved Clarksdale on November 2, 2015.
We especially appreciate our very good friend Red Paden for all he does to keep the blues alive in Clarksdale. He, Roger Stolle and Mayor Luckett are integral parts of our blues music scene in Clarksdale along with a host of many others....too many to mention. We are grateful to our local friends who tolerate us and allow us to film and photograph in their establishments and while they perform.
We consider ourselves very blessed to be natives of Clarksdale and the Mississippi Delta. We hope you will come visit soon. If you do, please give Magical Madge and Chilly Billy a shout. Visit for more information. AND BY ALL MEANS, TAKE A DELTA BOHEMIAN TOUR WITH Chilly Billy.

Clarksdale Scenes Friday before Juke Joint Fest 2017
Greetings from Clarksdale, Mississippi, heart of the Mississippi Delta! Juke Joint Fest 2018 is upon us and Clarksdale is hoppin’ like a jumpin’ bullfrog in Calaveras County.
Magical Madge and I have hastily thrown together a get-acquainted-with-Clarksdale video I took with an iPhone while riding around Clarksdale last year on the Friday before Juke Joint Fest 2017.
The video is accompanied by three of Chilly Billy's favorite songs recorded in Clarksdale and performed by three of our good friends, all gifted musicians. The first song, “Come in My Kitchen,” was written by Robert Johnson and performed by Sean Bad Apple at Bluesberry Café. The second is a fine rendition of Junior Kimbrough’s “Meet Me in The City” performed by Lightnin’ Malcolm at Hopson Commissary, and the third was also recorded at Hopson Commissary and performed by Clarksdale native Marshall Drew and is a mighty fine rendering of the Allman Brothers “Melissa!”

Swamp? Swans? Is This Bordeaux or Mississippi? - 13-14 Aug 2018 | France Vlog | Travel Diary S01
Day 34-35 - After most of the family leaves my brother's place, my sister and I wind up just chilling on day 34. The next day, we're off on a sibling bonding adventure that takes us from lunch at Les Pavois, to les Dunes de Pilat, to trekking through this random swampy backwoods park. I eat wild berries and spot wild swans. It's lit. Enjoy!

Riding The Delta Blues - Part Two - Natchez north to Clarksdale, Ms
Photographs taken on an 11 Day, 3000 Mile, 10 State Motorcycle Tour of the Delta Blues Trail and Mississippi River from Natchez to Cairo, Il. at the confluence of the Miss. and Ohio rivers. The trip started and end just south of Washington DC and included parts of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. This part is from Natchez north along the river and into Clarksdale Ms. which I discovered after finding it that it is known as the Crossroads of the Delta Blues and birth place of such greats as Ike Turner and where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil to play the Blues.
