While in Clarksdale, Mississippi I was fortunate to meet a number of great folks, both visitors and locals. A few of special note were Guy and Bill from the previously mentioned Shack Up Inn. While it may not be the Ritz, it's better. Guy and Bill are far more hospitable and friendly. Check it out and stay when passing thru: www.shackupinn.com. In addition, I met two very interesting guys staying at the Inn that let me hang with them while we made the rounds of the blues clubs on Saturday night. Dennis Mathewson is an Adventurer from Canada, Oregon and Mexico. The other gentleman is Dwight Hughes, a Board Certified Junk Dealer from Ruidoso, NM. Thanks guys for befriending this rained out traveler. Also, while at the Shack Up Inn I met George Worthmore, a very talented acoustic guitarist. I got one of his CD's and really like his versatility. Check out George at: www.georgeworthmore.com.
