It must be interesting to explore that area as it is the root of a lot of modern music. The days of slavery and segregation are not that long ago and I expect traces still linger. Maybe bits of Robert Johnson are buried in different places. He is a mysterious character.

I'd be surprised if Johnson's body is in any of the graveyards we visited. He was an itinerant coloured musician poisoned in a bar (and even that may be apocryphal), so while he may have had friends in the area, would they have paid t mark or record his grave?
I regret not visiting the blues joints we found in various small towns, but there was a definite feeling of isolation and rejection of tourists.
