Theres been a lot of thoughtful writing about Robert Johnson. i saw the documentary on Netflix. Over the years I've read all kinds of things.

One researcher had talked to a local lawman who reckoned he knew the murderer of Johnson, but didn't take any action becausethe killer was a 'decent family man' - and disrupting an already impoverished family wouldn't have achieved much.

Elijah Wald said the church where Robert was buried in the graveyard, had never heard of him.

As others of his family were successful musicians, I seem to reemeber reading, the truth is probably out there, but it will take a determined soul to tie up the disparate ends.
