R.I.P. David Honeyboy Edwards

[Alaric]

Our last link to Robert Johnson and the Delta Blues has passed away. He was 96 years old and still performing. A great loss.

There is some great footage of David Honeyboy Edwards on the documentary DVD "The Search for Robert Johnson", where he is interviewed and performs Robert Johnson's songs.

At one point Honeyboy, driving through Greenwood, Mississippi, points out a little yellow house where he claims Johnson died.
