By chance I picked up this article from today's Dallas Morning News.

There is a letter from 1961 which has confirmed that 508 Park is indeed the
spot where Robert Johnson recorded 13 songs that changed the course of the
blues and influenced the likes of Clapton, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and
Led Zeppelin. This is, of course, where Clapton recorded some of his tribute
to RJ.

A museum to Robert Johnson's memory would be great idea.
