You wish. Obviously, you don't understand that Dr. May writes/posts himself on Instagram and his his own page. It's better to just not say anything when you don't understand something, than to comment and make yourself look stupid.

Just on the KZbins lookin' at this and that. Then, I remembered the devil in Crossroads. After, "10 Things You Didn't Know About Crossroads" video (which was fun as well as educational), the algorithm threw this at me. HOLY SHITE!!! I'm missing out on a big chunk of music. I'm familiar with the blues but, it wasn't my thing. I have a HIGH appreciation for it though. It always seems to be played at the right time though. Anyhoo, I'm writing a movie and I kid you not, the Blues just became a part of the soundtrack! I wish I could use this! LOL Still, this was phenomenal playing. I look forward to learning more!!!

it is written by Roberts step sister "Annye", in her book...that Roberts brother "Son" pawned his guitar in Memphis.a few years after Roberts death..there are quite a number of prewar Kalamazoo guitars still around...maybe someone still has it, unaware of its "Holy Grail" origins
@StillLivinTheBluesАй бұрын
That was the guitar Robert had at death. We don't know for sure if it was the Kalamazoo he bought in Southeast MO. There is no telling how many he owned during his lifetime. The one in this video is the Kalamazoo Johnny Shines said him and Robert bought down in Southest Missouri. This is how I understand it. Thanks!

Yeah. He told that story. Muddy said it was down at Friars Point. It was at the Hirsburg store...which was a popular spot for blues musicians to play. Robert Johnson was known to play there often, and is who most people think about playing there. Muddy stated this long before this was commonly known, so he obviously knew about Johnson playing there.

That fake photo, a couple of clicks back, had me gagging 10 seconds after I saw it. The Photoshop stretch on his left hand fingers is painful. At the time it was still under inspection, which I could not believe. I had used Photo Shop since it's beginning. 3- floppies in 1992. There is no question it was a very careless forgery. The masking and fake aging were also amateur city. BTW: I knew Johnny Shines briefly c. 1970. God, damn well near, stamped "Great Man" on his forehead. I grew up playing piano. Didn't switch to guitar until a band forced me...
@StillLivinTheBluesАй бұрын
Which fake photo? The one where he is supposedly with Shines? At this point in time, I'm pretty much convinced that there won't be anymore new photos of Robert with the exception of the one the Smithsonian recently gave back to Mrs. Anderson. All known photos in existence have come from Robert's family. (Carried Thompson, etc...) If anyone else shows up with a photo, claiming it to be Robert, I'll be skeptical because no one outside of his family have ever produced one.

Great video indeed sir and a lot of well versed research and effort gone into thos, too. From my understanding of what I have learned about Robert's life, the guitar that Robert lost in the fire at the hotel, was probably the guitar that he got from Ile Zinneman. Ike was known to be the best guitarist in the deep south and Robert lived with Ike and his family for about 8 months before returning to Robinsonville, but I have read from a few articles that Ike had given Robert his guitar to take and play with. I have heard a clip of Son House claiming that when Robert returned to Robinsonville after living and learning from Ike, the guitar had 7 strings on it instead of the traditional 6 strings. How much of Son House's claims to be true or not is a shot in the dark given that Son House also claimed that Robert wasn't any good on the guitar before meeting Ike and yet, it is known that Robert was already an average guitarist and was already playing some jook joints and hiuse parties for about 2 years before Son House moved to Robinsonville. It would be nice if it was possible to have a time machine and be able to go back and just observe what happened and have some way to record it on video so that it would help at least answer so many of the questions and mysteries about Robert's life. I do wonder if Robert may have been on the autism spectrum although being what's known as 'High Functioning' because there is clear evidence from Johnny Shines and others that account for Robert's Savant level ability to hear any piece of music just once and be able to play it on his guitar, while playing the guitar in a way that is more like a piano and not as a guitar would usually be played, plus Robert although was capable of having a regular conversation, but if he didn't like someone or didn't feel comfortable with them, he would tend to be quiet and just keep to himself. I can't help wonder that given that mental health in those days was barely known or talked about at all and there certainly wasn't as much known about mental health conditions as there are nowadays. Either way, it doesn't take anything away from how great Robert was as a musician, artist, composer and as a man, may he always be resting in eternal heaven 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Robert Lockwood Jr learned how to play the guitar from Robert Johnson. He always said the crossroads story was BS. As a matter of fact, I don't ever remember Lockwood saying that Johnson ever mentioned the whole crossroads story. It was just a song he wrote. Johnson was in love with Lockwood's mother and Lockwood was a young teen and they spent a lot of time together playing music. Lockwood said that Johnson was a loner. He didn't really like being around people which probably led to the mystery. Having said all that, he did say Robert Johnson was a very good guitar player for his time.

Oh yeah! I completely agree. Personally, I don't believe in the Crossroads story, or even what a lot of people are now saying about Ike Zimmerman. For different reasons, folks just try to fill in the blanks of Johnson's history. with anything but facts... And sadly, the facts are probably already lost to time.
