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 insperition of are not. They are forgotten.
Keep the Blues alive !
Peace.
