Sweet Home Chicago

Good Old Robert Johnson, wonder how the devil and him are doing?

Johnson was conceived in an extramarital affair and born in Hazelhurst, Miss., in 1911. Most of his biographical details have been lost to history, but what's known is that he learned guitar in his teens, got married and had a girl who died in childbirth. The death led Johnson to throw himself even deeper into his music. He fled to Robinsonville, Miss., where he was influenced by early blues legends Son House and Willie Brown.

By 1933, Johnson had remarried and began playing the guitar professionally. He once related the tale of selling his soul to the devil at a crossroads in exchange for his talent. Johnson tells the story in his song "Crossroads Blues."

Johnson began to tour nationally and became known for his unique voice and halting guitar rifts. But in 1938, as the legend goes, the devil caught up with him. While playing at a juke joint, he flirted with a woman whose husband became jealous and the man laced Johnson's whiskey with strychnine. Although he became violently ill, Johnson played until he collapsed. He died four days later at age 27, although conflicting stories say he survived the poisoning and died later of pneumonia.

Broken Belt Hill climbs

On my way back from Carls Cycle Supply on Strange Brew i broke A belt..it happened to be where there was no good shoulder and there were nasty straight line winds up on the hill so i coasted down to the bottom of the ditch to make a nice work spot in the weeds to take the primary apart.

Custom front seat mounts I came up with a few years ago.

Here is a design I came up with and put on my friend Jays Garage evo copper bike he built three years ago. A cool different way to mount the front seat hinge that I did to fill the gap his tank had in the end where it hooked over like a beak. I have had some extra parts from making this first one to make a few more laying in my parts bin and finally will make another one for my Buddy Danos cool new Trump build shortly.
