I went to the crossroad, fell on my knees
Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy, save poor Bob, if you please."

We all know that good old Robert Johnson had his first recording session that faithful day in November, 1936. But still, a lot of speculation has recently emerged about that session.

Of course, there are the rumors of turning his back to the audience (the next group of musicians to record), and now there is peculation as to where this recording was actually done.
