Yep... I always believed that 61 was the road that delta blues made its way to the north... cause if I'm not mistaken, (I might be) it goes pretty much right to chicago.

When I went with a friend to New Orleans in 2000 for Mardi Gras, we took 61 north to memphis, as we went through some of my cd collection. Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Blind Blake, etc.

Went looking for the crossroads also. :) I am already going to hell, so I doubt the devil was going to bother making a deal.
