May's Cafe II - Greenville MS on Nelson St. Don't know for sure but suspect this joint is named after the song "Annie May's Cafe" which was a big hit for Little Milton Campbell and referred to another club on Nelson. The painting on the bottom is of Bluesman Eddie Cusic who Little Milton credited with giving him him big break, teaching him the music business etc. Mr. Cusic still lives in the Greenville/Leland MS area and performs occasionally. Little Milton passed away in 2005. If you are not familiar with Little Milton's music, go to YouTube, search "Grits ain't Groceries", put on your dancing shoes, crack open an adult beverage, turn to volume way up and hit play. you WILL be a fan. #blues #soul #jukejoint #mississippidelta #instagood #instagramhub #photowall #signporn #mississippi #cafe #namesakesigns #brick -

@f8inmemphis thanks Mike. I thought you might comment as Little Milton is associated with Memphis as well (like so many other things in the Delta). -
