When I was filming a TV series about the Blues we went in search of Robert Johnson’s grave. In all we visited three places, at which he may have been buried. One has a head stone erected by Sony Music (above) at another location there was a headstone paid for by the members of ZZ Top. We were finally taken to a place where there was no headstone and is just one of those graveyards that ‘could’ be the place. We were also told of two other places he might be buried, one of which may be the place that an 85 year old lady called Rosie Eksridge says is the spot where her husband helped to bury Johnson in a graveyard, it’s about 3 miles from Three Forks, Mississippi.
