Description

A true music-lover's journey into the past! Late one night in 2005, Zeke Schein made an amazing discovery while searching for a vintage guitar on eBay: a grainy, battered photograph captioned Old Snapshot Blues Guitar BB King???? Neither man looked like King, but one seemed to resemble the twentieth century's most mysterious musician, Robert Johnson. Would others see what he saw? With only three or four known images of the legendary blues guitarist in existence, this single picture was certainly an exceptional link to the past. In 2014, the truth about the photo was finally revealed. Schein details his strange journey in solving this musical mystery and crusade for legitimacy amidst pushback from music historians.

Author Biography:

Native New Yorker Steven Zeke Schein is a celebrated musician and guitar salesman at the famed Matt Umanov Guitars in NYC. A Delta blues and rock enthusiast, Schein studied classical guitar at both New York University and Brooklyn College.
