May 11 Show: Robert Johnson

Unfortunately we don't have any live footage of Robert Johnson--just two photographs. But we have enough of his music to know that he was one of the greatest blues guitarists, singers, and songwriters of all time. We'll be celebrating his music--and his 100th birthday--on this week's show.
