When Robert Johnson recorded his song “Crossroad Blues”, he was not singing about some nondescript intersection, he was singing about a very specific place in the flat delta plain between the Yazoo and Mississippi Rivers. A place known by all and visited by only a very few.

And the international flavor was absolutely spectacular meeting people from Japan, China, France, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Canada, and on and on.
