Mississippi Highway 61
One of my roommates and I are taking a roadtrip down to Memphis and then through Highway 61 in Mississippi, Clarksdale and Rosedale. Its kind of a Blues music pilgrimage. Does anybody have an recommendations or precautions for us? We are northern white city folk, which is a little different than southern black country folk. We aren't all that worried about it, we've heard of the Southern Hospitality. We're pretty much going for the music and the culture.
