That's very interesting. Thanks, Mitch. Now I want to hear my "King of the Delta Blues" album...

Mitch, haven't read the article. Are you saying this is the third known picture?

Look at length of those fingers! Did he have Marfan Syndrome?

I think they came as part of the deal

Hey, Eight-Sided.....Thanks for sharing the article about one of my musical heroes, Robert Johnson. It was at once both enlightening and poignant. If I could go back in time, he is one cat I'd love to have a conversation with over dinner. Beyond the myth and legend, I believe the man was at the core an evocative storyteller. You know, I listen to most music with my eyes open. Yeah, I know it's sort of an esoteric thought. But i listen to his songs, his voice, his guitar-playing with my eyes closed. The cat was different, man, really different. Robert Johnson --- what a wonderful slice of Americana. Keep on keepin' on.....Goofyfoot.

A great article. I wonder what he would think of all this if he could comment on it now?
It's just a pity he didn't get to share more with us.
