Just reading your page about Robert Johnson and the crossroads thing.
You can believe all you want but you have to have a love for blues if you want to find something that noone else found.
This ain't no kids game!
This is real.
Being a white boy from the north I stumbled upon it accidently or maybe I was meant to find out when I took my blues journey down there?
Being a blues cat my whole life I may of hit upon something important as far as blues and the crossroads is concerened.
They somehow felt my energy and my love for the blues,which they may of known somehow I was coming?
This is all just my perspective and opinion.Take it for what it's worth.
I think the way of the crossroads only opens up to people who really love blues and have repect for it.
In fact they somehow called me down there and set up the whole journey.
Please, don't mock this, the Devil is real and he will get ya. I ran into a preacher in the town of Rolling forks and he took one look at me and out of state plates and just laughed.
He said"boy be careful, he will get ya".
Something about Tunica, Mississippi and the surrounding area.
The name Tunica should shed some light.It's where Robert Johson and Son house spent alot of time.
It's where the plantation of Dockery's is, if anyone is familiar with it.
The town of robinsonville too, which is close by.
I think there is a portal in that area where the unseen world and the seen world meet.
Tune it,ya see? Tun ic a. That is all I'm gonna say.
Any yes there is a man who is the gatekeeper between those two worlds, if you can comprehend metaphisics.
I'm not gonna tell you how do it but, I will say If your serious about blues all you have to do is go to Mississippi or La and they find you,no matter where you are.
If this stuff scares you{it should} then just by videos of learing how to play the guitar and you won't have to go.
However Mississippi is a wonderful place,La too!!!
It's was great visiting all the town where the real bluseman came from and the town they sung about.
It may help if you find black women attractive and like to spend time with them, I don't know man.
Just be safe and enjoy the ride.

Okay blues cat...glad you enjoyed my state (Mississippi)! Welcome back anytime.

Yeah, there are words unspoken heard by those who have ears to hear down here. It is a strange land with many a strange tale.

Reading this reminds me of Manley wade wellman's stories about john the Balladeer. They're fiction, but they sure reveal the love he had for the land and the people living in it. Not Mississippi, though; he wrote about North Carolina.

Speaking of a strange happening:

In the early 1970s I'm on this crowded bus on my way to work in downtown Pittsburgh and I'm happy to get a seat..

But this woman is standing in front of me and she's obviously seen her better day.

She is dressed like a street person and she doesn't have the cleanest smell in the world-if you get my drift.

But what is even more disturbing is that this woman keeps singing this song:
       Ah Mer Ree KA
       is the last stop
       of the last trip
       of Christ 2,000 year old
       journey through SPACE!

She stands there in front of me staring at no one connecting with no one but singing this verse over and over again while people on the bus try to act like nothing unusual is occuring.

So I sit there pretending to read a book about something or the other but I can't help hear her words
       Ah Mer Ree KA
       is the last stop
       of the last trip
       of Christ 2,000 year old
       journey through SPACE!

Then all of a sudden she stops singing and looks me dead in the eye and says in a regular speaking voice- "You remember this now". And do something with your HAIR!! {I wore a large Afro then which was new style in that city}.

I said "Yes Mam." politely, since she was older than me and I was taught to respect my elders. She nods her head at me. And then- like she had never said a word to me- starts right back into her song.
       Ah Mer Ree KA
       is the last stop
       of the last trip
       of Christ 2,000 year old
       journey through SPACE!

And more than 30 years later I remember that experience and think
"Maybe she's right". Maybe this is the last stop of the last trip of Christ 2,000 year old journey through space. And what will happen when Christ's space ship lands?

I wonder.
