    I heard that the devil never promised him money, he promised him a supernatural prowess with the guitar, also, whiskey and women. So I hope he had plenty of both!

    I was at this spot in 1988, before the tombstone was placed there. Some locals pointed it out to me. I’ve been a fan of Johnson’s music for decades and over the years I met several people who knew him, saw the other alleged gravesites and I think this one is the most likely to be the true one. Thank you so much for posting this. I’ll visit your page right now & see what Ms Rosie Estridge has to say about it!
