Robert showed us it's not how long you're here, it's what you fill it with. Aren't we lucky to have as much as we do of his legacy...

I've always loved RJ's music, he was special he stood out from the crowd with his colourful songs - he was so good, like Paganini before him there's no wonder people thought he made a pact with the Devil ! (-;

Definitely on my "would like to have met" list (-:

I went down to the crossroad
fell down on my knees 
I went down to the crossroad
fell down on my knees 
Asked the lord above "Have mercy now
save poor Bob if you please"
Yeeooo, standin at the crossroad
tried to flag a ride
ooo ooo eee
I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me babe
everybody pass me by
Standin at the crossroad babe
risin sun goin down
Standin at the crossroad babe
eee eee eee, risin sun goin down
I believe to my soul now,
Poor Bob is sinkin down
You can run, you can run
tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
tell my friend Willie Brown
(th)'at I got the croosroad blues this mornin Lord
babe, I'm sinkin down
And I went to the crossraod momma
I looked east and west
I went to the crossraod baby
I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman
ooh-well babe, in my distress

Myth: an honest effort of man to explain the extraordinary.It's amazing how the whole devil agrrement thing fits in every culture...and yes: I'S GONNA BE BETTER!
