Ground Zero Blues Club was indeed opened before 9/11. The name derives from Clarksdale, Mississippi's unofficial tag line of "ground zero for the blues." Please consider coming back for one of our blues festivals here. Dates and information are at www.cathead.biz and www.msbluestrail.org. Thanks. Hi y’all.

I'm sure we WOULD have loved it since we like seeing neat things and talking with neat people. And we wove our way around town for a while, too, looking for the "Po' Monkey Lounge." We found lots of shacks around town, but none of them matched the picture on the back of Tom's T-shirt. Thanks for the heads up, though, because Tom definitely wants to go back up to Clarksdale sometime to hear more good blues (and eat more good down home food) and wander the area so we'll have to look for it next time.

You would have loved it! its not far from Cleveland. It is home to McCarty Pottery. I promise you both would have loved that place and its owners. Two true one of a kind people.
