  • he would be laughing at what it has become!!!!

    its a joke.

  • Wrong, WC Handy, was a composer, a good listener and documetalist of the Blues in the South.

    I reward him cause he understood, what was goin' on in the South and the very first time a Blues was heard and put into notes, was at a railwaystation in 1898, where WC Handy picked up the very first "notes" of the Blues from a black sitting down "hollerin'" !

    I'm very glad he is celebrated, but most of those, he got insperation of are not. They are forgotten.

    Keep the Blues alive !

    Peace.
