Thread Name: location of Robert Johnson's crossroads
Subject: RE: A Little of Topic
Further to the Robert Johnson legend, I heard a really neat song titled "Heaven's Where You'll Dwell" on the new Carlos del Junco CD, "Big Boy". It is a neat twist on the story, Robert showing up at the Crossroads to fulfill his obligation to the devil, the Lord showing up and claiming R.J. as his own. Carlos didn't write it, I believe that one of his band members did, but it's a cool song that gives Robert the ending that he is due.

Carlos is a Toronto harp player who has won the Hohner world championship in both the Blues and Jazz Categories. He is definately worth checking out.
