In 1938, John Hammond organised the "From Spirituals To Swing" concert, and had planned an appearance by Robert Johnson. Sadly, he had died earlier in the year and Hammond instead booked Big Bill Broonzy to take his place.

I have read (where??) that Hammond had planned to have had Johnson performing with a band. Would that have been a bass/piano/small drum combo? And would Johnson have been playing an amped-up guitar?

Of course, this may have been mere speculation. Are there any attributable facts available?

Thanks

PS No "Judas!" jokes, please. I've already thought of that one.
