THX! only knew the smoking version, I know, I´m a little back…
as a child, I was stamp-collector…now I´m collecting other things…
To me Robert Johnson’s hands look like aracnodactyly (spider fingers) and some believe he suffered from that (Marfan’s Syndrome) genetic disorder, and while it has been claimed that he was poisoned by a male due jealous rivalry . Supposedly the death certificate lists syphyllis as the cause of death.
I saw him on his Strong Persuader tour. Great performance.
He´s a great one…
Palate cleanser? Picked up these very interesting treasure-hunt finds. The Bo Diddley is starting out fine.
I also picked up this 2-CD crazy assembly of blues hits, “The Best Blues Album in the World . . . Ever!” The TiVo blues purists apparently object to the title. It’s a hodge-podge, I tell you! Oh well, I’m enjoying the hodge-podge! Track list from Dicscogs. For someone that will not be able to buy albums from all these folks, it’s a nice sampler/intro.
