Lost Third Photo of Robert Johnson

Post by DarcyPerry »

"Until now, there were only two verified images of twentieth-century blues singer Robert Johnson. The photo was donated to Getty Images by Johnson’s estate. Johnson is seen standing next to musician Johnny Shines in the photograph. Legend has it that Johnson made a deal with the Devil for his musical talent. Robert Johnson influenced musicians such as Eric Clapton."

The one with the very long fingers I'm picking. Some people believe he had Marfan syndrome. Which accounts for unusually long fingers.

Thats cool, thanks posting !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

It's a Samick.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
