Junior's
Juke Joint - Not specifically a drum site,
but one that will give you a feel for the land that
produced the blues. The site is run by a guy named Junior
Doughty who travels around the Mississippi Delta visiting
some of the last existing Juke Joints. He refers to
himself as a "cultural anthropologist,"
but he's hardly a scientist in the traditional
sense. Here's the opening blurb from his website:
"I'm a cultural anthropologist who lives in the
Mississippi Delta, Louisiana side, and I spend lots
of time in Delta juke joints. You're about to take a
trip inside the places where the blues began. I'm not
talking about white people blues bars filled with college
students. I'm talking about edge-of-a-cotton-field juke
joints filled with real Delta folks." www.deltablues.net
