husband is just an overbearing
type who wants to feel he is boss
the only way he can prove his
superiority is to indulge in a fist

you can and try to keep him from

and sweetness and sadness of the
blues"
Everybody knows how the blues
started in America: How in the
cotton fields of the South a lonely
voice would wall in a new note, a
blue note, and a chorus of workers
would take it up, and how that night
a forlorn lover would sing his song
of woe to the same tune, and how
later the refrains would be repeated
in barrel houses and honky tonks
as slow drags and then speeded up
as over-and-overs, Stomps and reels.
Three-Line Stanzas.
The blues could be happy or mel
ancholy, depending on the mood of
the singer. All, however. had this
in common: Each Stanza had three
lines. instead of the usual two or
four of simple verse, and the music,
consequently, had II bars to the
strain instead Of the usual or 16.
The singer would sing the first
line, and then there would be an
interval, filled in by his guitar or
banjo accompaniment as he thought
up his second line, which often
might be a repetition of the first
line. Then another interval, and
then the third line
These intervals were known as
the breaks" or the jazz"
Here is how one of the earliest
recorded blues, Joe Turner" usually
went:
They tell me Joe Turner's come and
gone, oh, Lordy.
They tell me Joe Turner's come and
gone oh. Lordy.
Got my man. an gone"
Joe Turner was Tennessee
deputy sheriff who came to take the
boys of to the chain gang. In this
song the "oh Lordy" fills in the
break or jazz. AS the blues spread
and became better known and the
singer did not have to make them
up as he went along, the singers
voice or the instrument or both
would wander in any improvised
musical pattern it pleased
In the beginning of the blues, the
jazz was confined to these breaks,
but in New orleans its improvisa-
tions were seized upon with en-
thusiasm and used continuously as
a style.
Jazz itself swept the country but
was Stiied. Its improvisation sur
vived as swing, but swing, he be-
