Two major gigs were going down in Hopson, Mississippi on Sunday, October 9th. The Shack Up Inn had local blues favorites, Cameron Kimbrough and Lightnin’ Malcolm rocking the Juke Joint Chapel stage, while next door at Hopson Commissary, the 11thAnnual Pinetop Perkins Homecoming event was taking place. Sadly, without Pinetop, who passed away this year just shy of his 98th birthday.

Lovely post(s) Madge & Billy. You guys have no idea how much easier it is to be away from home with your constant photo documenting of the people in and coming through Clarksdale. I sure do miss y’all and my close friends. Thanks for putting a smile on my face today. Looking good, you two by the way.
We miss you! So glad to give you a connection to home. Stay warm up there. Brrrrrrrrrr
