I Wanna Tell You ‘Bout The Way They Treated Me

I Wanna Tell You ‘Bout The Way They Treated Me

Size: 30” x 40”

In life, Robert Johnson saw his share of highs and lows. His lowest in life was the loss of his young wife and child at the tender age of only 19. However, it can be argued that his lowest point musically had to come at Dockery Farm. There, according to Son House, he would pester him and Willie Brown until an incident when he snuck onto the stage and started playing during their break. Son House claims that the people complained about Robert so much to the point he had to chastise him into stopping saying, "He was just noising the people...they come out and said 'why don't one of y'all go in there and make that boy put that guitar down...he's running us crazy'...finally he run off from his momma and daddy...was gone about six or eight months'"...Here, I believe Son House is misremembering, because according to others Robert was gone for almost two years...studying and practicing the Blues under Ike Zimmerman. It is said that Robert was an accomplished musician around this time, according to his stepsister. What I believed happened was, what Robert played during that incident Son House refers to, was old folksongs that the people in the Juke Joint just didn't want to hear. He hadn't learned any Blues songs at that time. So, what he learned under the tutelage of Zimmerman was the unadulterated Delta Blues and he learned them very well. So much so, that when he returned to Dockery's Farm to show Son House what he'd learned, the only reaction they all had was pure amazement. THIS was definitely one of the high points of his young life. Nobody could believe that this was coming from the same boy who was run off earlier...Though he never claimed he had, the only thing the people could fathom was, Robert had gone down to the cross roads and made a deal...and a Legend was born. Here we see the specter of Robert returning back to where it ALL started for him...probably wondering what he could have done differently...what do you think his thoughts are here? "I Wanna Tell You 'Bout The Way They Treated Me" is created by Artist Andre LeMoyne Miller in acrylic on 30" x 40" gallery wrapped canvas...large scale, artist enhanced prints are available for $1200.
