from ear to ear and bowed as his
audience sang out Happy Birth
day" He gave them a sample Of
his blues and a little talk in re-
turn.
Il can't see you but I can feel
your spirit" he exclaimed as the
applause died down after his blues
rendition. Bill Handy is almost

employing the then unknown jazz
break" played his Memphis Blues"
from a street corner for the first
time, how his boys made the folks
sit up and take notice"
y wrote the blues songs TO appeal
to nv own people" he said. "All
the blues come out Of suffering
hunger. The colored man knows
what it is to be hungry. We've
always known it."
