Terraplane

Hood River, Oregon

1930s blues wizard Robert Johnson had a huge influence on subsequent popular music, and musicians...on his one classic album was the song Terraplane Blues, full of double entendres and blatant sexual innuendo...always admired the piece, but never knew just what a Terraplane was until the revelatory moment here at the automobile/aeroplane museum in Hood River

other now famous tracks from Johnson include Walking Blues, Crossroads Blues, Sweet Home Chicago, Dust My Broom, and Love in Vain...here is a link: http://www.robertjohnsonbluesfoundation.org/biography/

Thank you for the information and the beautiful capture of the car. I came to listen to Robert Johnson through E. Clapton and the Rolling Stones. I read also books talking about his mysterious life...Both his music and life are captivating...V.

I, on the other hand, always knew about the car, but not the song. Thanks for that useful anecdote. Great capture too. ~V~
