Elmore James was famous for "Dust my Broom" and "Standing at the Crossroads" ...both songs by Robert Johnson as "I think I'll Dust my Broom" and "Standing at the Crossroads."



Now that Dangerous Dave has stood a the Crossroads of 61 & 49 at Clarksdale, Mississippi (as have I)...here is the story that drew us there

Did Robert Johnson sell his soul to the Devil...to play the Blues?

Clearly.....that is the stuff that legends are made of.....part truth....part fiction. The Dancing One and I have both been to the Crossroads.....

The truth is....we'll never know....but the legend.....lives on....
