i REALLY wonder if this is THE Willie Mae? no offense to the lady if she isn't because time can confuse things ... course she MAY well have been.  but, it's a common name or was in the south.

I never knew of a Robert Johnson expert. Goodness, who was the dick head white dude! They praise use then demonize us!! Jeez why can't he be just one bad ass dude that had all the chicks!! Robert Johnson was the shit!!

great series, as long as you ff the hosts playing

At first, she looks as if she will cry, but then surprises with a big grin.

Sure must have been flattering for the old girl, especially considering that "Love In Vain" is easily in Johnson's top five, right there with "Come On In My Kitchen" and "Crossroads Blues."

Robert Johnson never lived long enough and messed around too much to have a wife.

@MaabudZ

He was actually married several times...

How cool is this. I always assumed Willie May was his wife. Thanks for posting.
