1. Pretty Profound Difference

I've plated this song (the Cream version, so to speak) at a lot of jam nights.
So much room for guest players to solo.
I've never even attempted a Robert Johnson version..
He drifts in & out of time so much, there's no way to replicate it. Not sure how Robert got away with it, but he did.

2. Its in the song

He went to the Crossroads and asked for ability. That's how he did it....o. ha

3. think it started w/ NPR. i got hooked on country blues. i ran to get a johnson CD, then son house. then i went to a

great local music store + looked thru their blues section. found the yazoo CDs + took a chance on the missippi sheiks cause the name. missippi john hurt etc. then a poetry in the blues class. no chicago allowed.
