i have been involved in the aspect of preservation since the 1960s as a kid and these sites are what makes up dallas, while the robert johnson musuem will never come to exist because the george bush library is first and important, to those who see that kind of history for dallas, while this is a very colorful history, with no money to help create a place for dallas culture to realize, the BLUES had stepped into dallas and left a foot ptint here, until then alexander troup. activist for human culture.

perfect example of a non-sequitur. The Bush Library has nothing to do with establishing a robert johnson museum

if Blues supporters believe it is that important it is up to them to raise the funds and establish it, or you can start gathering the materials and donate them to the Dallas Library's archives division

I find my finger bleeding .... having glazed such a fine-sharpened sword. No matter ~ here is my handkerchief and I shall mop and bind that pinkie; while recalling, that cold logic has a disturbing way of slicing away multiple dimensions (and suspecting ... that Robert Johnson lives in one of those).

Preservation Dallas is a joke, and i can say that after 25 years of Dallas preservation, and i wont be working for preservation people like this and so i can now say this.....becuase they want the money and not the responsiblity to make places like this come to life.......they are a joke and they can come over an blow up my garbage can...preservation means to get people involved.....

Not to promote a preservation group that have a recording machine telephone that says leave your name and number and the reason you called.and then i talk to some....of those people,... who ask me if i am a from the old South and beleive in Dixie...that was last year....and so who's running the show this year, besidesd . i love the blues.......and deep elm..while my complements to the writers at the Observer for a very good article....and i did give them a call and they did call me back...A/T.
