Po' Monkeys

Willie "Po' Monkey" Seaberry opened a juke Joint in his home in 1963.
He was a farmer who operated his club at night.  

It wasn't uncommon for these "jook houses" to be tenant's houses on plantations where they would clear furniture and spread sawdust on the floor to get ready for a good evening.

These gatherings were called house parties, suppers, or fish fries. 

Some artists, including Muddy Waters, would run their own Juke Joints.

While many such Juke Joints populated the Delta, Po' Monkey's is one of the few left to last. More formal bars and clubs would eventually replace most, but they continue to play a part in the living history of the Blues.
