MYSTERY SOLVED!.How Johnny Shines Met Robert Johnson!

For years, many blues historians have been curious to know how Johnny Shines came to know Robert Johnson. The best we could get out of Johnny Shine was a gentleman by the nickname of M&O who he had played music with, since this mysterious person was a piano player from the Delta. But he said he could never remember his actual name. The introduction was made in Helena Arkansas, which leads us to believe there's something unique that draws this mystery person to Helena. Based on the research I have done, I believe I now know who the individual is and why he would have been called M&O. #JohnnyShines #RobertJohnson #M&OBlues #Crossroads
