When You Got a Good Friend

When You Got a Good Friend

Size: 30” x 48”

There was/is a lot of debate and myth surrounding Robert Johnson... legend has it that he made a deal down at the crossroads one night deep in the Mississippi Delta...truth is, Robert could play...and he could play very well. He perfected his talent by practicing...but what WAS strange, is that he sometimes would practice alone...in the cemetery. A guitar player by the name of Ike Zimmerman took him under his wing and Robert practiced religiously. Late at night the two could be found in the local cemetery sitting atop the tombstones in the graveyard so that they didn't disturb anyone else while playing in the middle of the night...Johnson kept to that practice and it did very little to dispell the rumors about him. ...In his song "When You Got a Good Friend", Robert sings "When you got a good friend that will stay right by your side, Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right"...Well, Robert's "good friend" no doubt was his guitar...Here we see Robert Johnson on his way to a cemetery to play with the only friend that never let him down, and his audience...only the tombstones and the chorus of the wind howling through the trees, waiting for another song......"When You Got a Good Friend", created by Artist Andre LeMoyne Miller, in acrylic on 30" x 48", gallery wrapped canvas, the ORIGINAL is not available HOWEVER, Large Scaled Canvas Fine Art Prints, Artist Enhanced, will be available for $1500 each.
