A true entertainer which some people seem to have forgotten how to do this guy should be world famous and live in a mansion lol. But I think even if he did he would maintain the bum look

Handy didn’t invent the 12-bar blues, he simply repackaged what he’d heard the negroes playing and singing. “Call & response” was a feature of the negro worker’s music.
These workers were mostly slaves or children of slaves, who had been brought from Africa – and had brought their music with them.
The first published blues music was Memphis Blues, not St Louis Blues.

I suggest you watch the Martin Scorcese series on the Blues. Far more authoritative than your bleary view.

Music has roots, but no boundaries. If you feel it then play it. Music is the human soul on wings. Let it fly people, let it fly.

Erm, WC Handy was a black guy, deltaguitar28, and your analysis of the origins and development of the blues and its African retentions is pretty simplistic to say the least. Heigh ho. You shouldn’t insult people when you’re on such shaky ground yourself.

descended from africa? you really need to check some of your history. The blues has some things in common with african rythyms, and was packaged and sold as negro music. However the 12 bar pattern was really created by WC Handy who publised St Louis Blues the first published blues song. He was a white guy OMG!! Also Blues was actually origianlly a Vaudville Novelty Act. Most of the original guys only recorded blues, but played pop songs of the day to make their living. Ur a moron!
