New Podcast Posting: Music of America - W.C. Handy

Most everyone has heard the name W.C. Handy. But what do you really know about this giant of American music ? Yes he wrote the St. Louis Blues and is considered to be the “Father of the Blues”, but he accomplished so much more. Join us as we go to Handy’s original hometown of Florence, Alabama (Memphis and New York are among the places claiming part of him too). Florence stages an annual W.C. Handy Festival and we stop in to gain some insight.
