Finding Robert Johnson (tracing the steps of a blues legend)

NOTE: This video is 1/2 hour long but I think all blues fans will enjoy it.

This is the big project I've been working on for the past several days.

I trace the life of Robert Johnson through Mississippi from Hazelhurst to Greenwood. This video was a one man show. I narrated, filmed, and edited all of it on location in Mississippi without a script.

I hope you guys like it.

Thanks for the history lesson Paul. There's a lot of really neat history in that part of the country for sure.

There are 2 set of train tracks running from the Greenwood area along the river up to Memphis. One runs along highway 61 from New Orleans to Memphis-St.Louis-Chicago and the other one ran to Clarksdale - Indianola - Tutwiler(state prison) - Hernando - Memphis along highway 51 area. Both train tracks are part of the Blues Trail for Bluesmen riding Hobo to fame. Those Trails were also part of the Underground Railroad system before that.

Wow. You're right in the  middle of all that. Good to know for next time.

I could've met you, you were right in my area. My old house is by Elvis's Circle G Ranch at Highway 301 and Highway 302. Just 5 miles from the Blues Highway(61) and just across the TN/MS state line.
