The Influence of Robert Johnson on Mock Guitar

Robert Johnson is going to be a major influence on mock guitar for the next few years, so we should talk about him a little here. It's often said that nobody knew anything about Robert Johnson, that he was almost a phantom other than his records. What people mean is that information about Johnson's life was not yet known by people they consider important: white, blue, scholars, and musicians. Almost everything people like that know of the facts of Johnson's life has only become known to us in the last four years.
