music is given a musical education,
and when boy is just entering man
hood he wants to travel and see the
world and as ''pa" will look after bis
future the question of money is not SO
much an object as it is to get away
from home and travel.
Not so with the negro musicians;
they are as a rule self educated and are
scarce, they have got to make their
living and save enough to live on
when not travelling and as they are a
scarce article, especially those that
are capable OF reading music at sight,
which we demand of them. Then
come the singers. Why. venture to
say there is not half dozen negro
tenor singers in America with an ed
ucated voice capable Of doing solo
work, and we have two Of them; We
can get hundreds Of "barber shop
tenors. but pardon me from asking
anyone to come and hear them sing.
Well. 1t is so with all lines Of negro
talent; they are scarce. and cone
high. especially those capable Of On.
tertaining an intelligent audience.
