I've loved the blues since
I was 15, which is also how old
I was when I started playing
harmonica. It was my first
instrument, a couple of years
before I began playing the
guitar. I still love playin'
harp, and I still listen to a lot of
blues. And one of the great
places to go if you love that
kind of music is Clarksdale,
Mississippi. There's a whole
lot of blues history there,
and it's the home of the Delta
Blues Museum. There's also
a real nice blues club there:
"Ground Zero", co-owned by
the actor Morgan Freeman.
I was there in March of 2008,
and this photo was taken
the next morning at the club's
front door.
