GRAVES of DELTA MUSICIANS

CO-FOUNDER OF DELTA BLUES

ROBERT JOHNSON – how many graves ?

I may be one of the very few who actually believes he lies buried in Quito, MS ~  in the cemetery plot area his step-brother owned .. and where I believe a few of his other step- siblings lay as well  ~ (he had ten)   

• In 1990 a small marker with the epitaph “Resting in the Blues” was placed in the cemetery of Payne Chapel near Quito, Mississippi by an Atlanta rock group named the Tombstones, after they saw a photograph in Living Blues magazine of an unmarked spot alleged by one of Johnson’s ex-girlfriends to be Johnson’s burial site.
