Thread Name: Robert Johnson's Grave (1911-1938)
Subject: RE: Robert Johnsons Grave
My bald-headed son is sorta into blues, and immediately brought forth a couple of recently published blues music books that recite the old tale about RJ being "buried in an unmarked grave at an unknown location." (The Divil took 'im?)
It appears that something was added by the finding of his death certificate.
Of course, when bhs found a contradiction of a pet myth, I had to submit to an extended lecture on the "cultural significance" of RJ. Ain't chillen a pain? (anybody wrote that blues song?).
