While out of focus, I love this image because it captures the image of a classic juke joint in Clarksdale, Mississippi. At a typical juke joint, the building itself is usually falling apart. There is a small dance floor, forties of beer are sold, and the music is largely improvisational.
One thing that I really enjoy about this area is the live music. We stumbled into a juke joint the other night and saw this old couple getting down. The old man said that he was 85 and this was his first time dancing in 5 years since his heart surgery. He was so happy!

The music scene is truly cool there. If you get a chance, check it out in Nashville, too. Perhaps even better, depending on what you like.
