The 75th Anniversary of Robert Johnson's 508 Park Sessions

June 20, 2012 4:00AM

1 of 17
From the program of the celebration in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Robert Johnson recording session and Juneteenth, at The Stewpot and First Presbyterian Church:

On That Day: A theatrical spoken word and musical evocation of the world of Dallas on June 19 & 20, 1937 when Robert Johnson, the Crystal Springs Ramblers, and the Light Crust Doughboys recorded in a makeshift studio at 508 Park Avenue, Dallas.
Sums it up pretty right.
