So the area around there could be a good bet. Anywhere in the Clarksdale end of the Delta would also be in easy commuting distance of Memphis, while the Greenville-Greenwood end is in striking distance of the airport in Jackson. Hope that helps! Good luck. Hi Tom,

Maybe I should write the culinary companion guide to this blues road trip plan!) :) Great work, Eva!
