If you can’t go to Destin for Memorial Day, Sharky’s Gulf Grill in Memphis will meet the need for coastal cuisine.

The Hill Country Harmonica Homecoming at the Hill Country Blues Pavilion, Foxfire Ranch, Waterford, MS May 21, 2011

At a Highway 7 store, an older man explained to me that the Burnside Blues Cafe wasn’t open because the Burnsides (or at least some of them) were out at Foxfire Ranch because of something called the Hill Country Harmonica Homecoming. So I drove to the ranch, and got in on the tail end of blues duo Satan and Adam doing “Staggerlee”, followed by the band Sugar Blue. Lots of fun at the Hill Country Blues Pavilion.

When I drove east on Highway 310 from Como to the Burnside Blues Cafe, I found that nobody was there, and, with it still being somewhat early, I drove back into Oxford for a cappuccino at High Point Coffee. The square was aglow with a sort of magic at sundown as the music of a band from a wedding reception drifted across the street.
