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

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.
