Shoot, we know that Robert listened to Son House... There's a story of Son playin' some juke and takin' a breal and Robert being like, ahhhh, 14 or 15 and jumpin' up on stage and grabbin' Son's geetar and tryin' to play it and folks havin' to chase him around to get the geetar back off Robert... I mean, ya'll listen to Some of the Alan Lomax tapes and there were literally hundreds of people playin' blues all over Mississppi, Arkansas, Tennesee, Texas, Alabama... LOmax recorded 'um in Georgia, too... But people were playin' it everywhere in the south and mid-atlantic and then folks movin' north to Chicgao fir jobs and to get off the plantations and then they playin' it everywhere...

So Robert had his ears on big time...

Well, melodeonboy... You need to Google up Johnny Winter's "TV Blues"... It's a great song that deal with these new fangled thingies... "If you don't get the picture workin', I'm gonna' do some work on you"... I mean, if you can make a good blues songs outta yer TV not workin' then the pudder can't be that far behind...

Hey, don't look at me... I write "old school"...
