DeWayne Moore of Morgan City, Mississippi joins "Shifting And Shaping" to discuss The Mount Zion Memorial Fund's work in memorializing the unmarked graves of Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductees Robert Johnson and Charley Patton. Eric Clapton has called Robert Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." Further discussing the myths and fallacies present in blues narratives, blues culture in the Mississippi Delta, and an unlikely encounter with Creedance Clearwater Revival at Robert Johnson's grave site. This is the second episode in the podcast's blues trilogy.
