King Biscuit and Clarksdale photos

Here's a batch of photos of artists on the final day of the King Biscuit Festival in Helena, which was cut short by an electrical storm meaning that the headliners on both main stages (Bobby Rush and Delbert McClinton) did not appear. Also some pix of various events around Clarksdale where we stayed.
