One of my all time favorite guitar players.

When Keith Richards (of The Rolling Stones) first heard a Robert Johnson record he said: "Wow, that guy is really good, but who is playing the other guitar part?"

He was really impressed when he heard the answer:

"Nobody..."

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Look at those fingers! Loooooooong. I recall one one guitar site, we all tried to figure out what chord he was playing.

The post office airbrushed out the cigarette on the stamp.

Robert Johnson: "Crossroad Blues"

[Tupelo]

I can honestly say, I visited 2 of Robert Jouhnson’s grave sites on a Sunday day ride.

Thanks for the reminder - his work is on the top shelf of my collection.

On of the all time greats.

RIP, sir.

PS - Tomorrow is the anniversary of John Lee Hooker’s birth.

He would have been 96 (I think).

Imagine what he would have sounded like playing a Stratocaster or a Les Paul.

God Bless Robert Johnson.

I didn’t even know he was sick!

Thanks Mad Dawgg! I love blues, and I’m kind of partial to Lightnin’ and the Wolf...but nobody can deny what Robert Johnson was to the music.

He was really impressed when he heard the answer:

"Nobody..."

Do you know the Robert Johnson music Keith Richards was hearing when he made that comment?
