First two nights (and a day) of filming went awesome. We’re filming some interview stuff next week along with a little B-roll. Going through some of Damien/Lou’s footage now. Lookin’ good… and Bill Abel’s audio sounds killer. “We Juke Up In Here” — world premiere at Delta Cinema in Clarksdale on Friday, April 13, 2012.
ALL the photos are wonderful- (with the exeption of the fallen tree, owner would probably agree). The gloaming sky is layered – Precise timing the lightning, Wow !
I’m glad I came across this site. I have fond memories of my visit to Clarksdale several years ago to do research on a native son of Coahoma County, Frederick Bruce Thomas, an African-American who was born on a farm near Dublin (about a dozen miles to the SE) and who was the child of former slaves. Although he is now virtually forgotten, he went on to become a rich and famous nightclub owner in Moscow and Constantinople at the beginning of the twentieth century. I enjoyed staying at the Hopson Plantation, working in the Coahoma County Chancery Court records, having a wonderful dinner at Madidi, hanging out at the Ground Zero Blues Club in between impressive thunderstorms and tornado warnings, and visiting Friars Point and its North Delta Museum, run by the wonderful Flo Larson. Hope to come back some day. If anyone is interested in what came of my research, here is the Facebook page about my book: http://www.facebook.com/BlackRussianByVladimirAlexandrov

Great pictures! Love the deer and the lightning!
I think I was UNDER that lightning! Thanks for the photos. (Also, looks like y’all had a nice beach excursion!)
