Otherwise he would be holding the neck on his right arm.

Lois Gibson has already been proven mistaken. Please take a look at this more current assessment; shared through the membership of the Real Blues Forum. My regrets that this misinformation continues to circulate. We all do wish there was more evidence in photograph or music of Robert Johnson!
