Thread Name: Origins: Rock Island Line
Subject: RE: Rock Island Line
Ed: it is always worth celebrating Lonnie. 1954 when he made the record, 1956 when he had the hit.Then there will be the anniversary of his first Number 1 etc etc. The juggernaut will be UNSTOPPABLE. And while this thread has covered Leadbelly's geographical inaccuracy on the subject of the Rock Island Line, how abour Robert Johnson's assertion that Sweet Home Chicago was in California?
