robert johnson

..was born 8th May 1911.
The video below has Son House talking about his memory of Johnson. It is the sound of Delta Blues.
And the Son House guitar you'll see?
"This looks like a 1934/35 National Duolian or Triolian resonator guitar, judging by the 14 fret clear fingerboard and open headstock (1933 models were 12 frets clear of the body, and 1936 models had a solid headstock)."
according to YouTube commenter hippyhay1.
Frankly, who would disagree.
