Actaully, according blues historian and former White Pamter, John Sinclair, the deal would have been more than likely made between Tommy Johnson (no relation to Robert)...

The movie, "Crossroads", which BTW is an excellent flick, depicts Robert Johnson who made the deal...

I perform "Crossroads Blues" in most of me performanaces because it gives me an opportunity to do an intro talking about the universality of the concept of going to the crossroads... Yeah, we all been there... Every last one of us...

BTW, PART B, I learnt up my guitar playing the hard way: practice, practice and more practice... No deals with the Devil...
