Thread Name: Robert Johnson - new account + photo
Subject: RE: Robert Johnson - new account + photo
Some more extensive discussion of the not-yet-released book and new photo (plus the usual meandering off topic stuff) here:
https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/new-photo-of-robert-johnson-authentic.960917/
Interestingly, the 94 year old Annye Anderson declined to be interviewed for Conforth and Wardlow's 2019 book on the grounds that she had her own in preparation... resulting in Conforth going to town on Facebook saying that the new book did not have much new to say: "Virtually everything she "knows" was told to her second-hand by Carrie, who coached her as what to say for use in their (Carrie's) lawsuits against Steven LaVere and against Claud Johnson." Ah, family tradition, what could it possibly tell us that we have not heard before...
I'm sure there is more to this story than is being publicly aired, but will leave it to others to draw their own conclusions... at least she has the new photo on her side, probably leaving the above mentioned authors a bit discomfited after their "possibility of any new revelations surfacing seems extremely remote" remark less than a year earlier :)
