These are my relatives with whom I stay twice a year (only spring and fall because of humidity) and basically just do this. They live outside Jackson Mississippi. A week before tour I noticed that we had a day off in Jackson so of course I had to hook it up. I couldn’t believe that I got to bring most of my closest friends there on tour this year. Crazy. What a day.
Here’s an object d’art created by my niece who lives in Alabama. She’s thirteen. I thought this is pretty cool and particularly “modern art-ish” for a thirteen year old.
In the Deep South this freaky huge flower grows on a tree. They call it a cowcumber, or swamp magnolia.
Farewell Mobile Bay way out there. About to drive to Jackson, Mississippi, for a crawdad boil. I sure wish we could play some gigs down here. Southern life is where its at. Super chilled out.
I missed the day at the swimming hole. And the 80 foot homemade black waterslide.
I think this kid was shooting skeet with a 12 gauge a little earlier.
Hosing down a couple hundred pounds of live crawdads. They’re known as crawfish down here but they’re not fish. They’re bugs.
Things are heatin’ up ’round here.
Jackson, Mississippi, airport. This (like most sculptures of children) is a fairly creepy looking sculpture dedicated to racial reconciliation. The portrait behind it is of Medgar Evers, the brilliant champion of the Voting Rights Act and desegregation legislation. He was murdered in 1963. There’s a great exhibit on his life here and having an hour to blow I must say I’m finding it very inspiring.
How cool are these ladies. They’re being arrested for going into the “public” library.
