Robert Johnson story

[Scottgman]

Here's a fairly interesting story about Robert Johnson's gravesite. Not a ton of historical facts, but a fairly entertaining read.

THanks man! That was a very well-written article, I thought. My two favorite quotes:

"After all, it had been 65 years — a lifetime ago; if he were alive today he probably wouldn’t be."

and

"Tim and I had had enough: [it was] “Like chasing the ghost of a ghost,” I said."

Very cool.

i lived in Greenwood for 10 years. Its like the towns fued over who has Robert Johnsons grave site.

Its pretty common knowledge among the black comunity that he died in greenwood and was buried at Little Zion.

Im glad that he at least has a head stone now.
