I saw Bill twice maybe three times in concert. He was not paraded by anybody. He was appearing on the same bill as a British jazz group and touring with them. On one tour he appeared alongside gospel singer Brother John Sellers. Bill had been a professional performer for years and when his style of blues was becoming a little less popular in the Chicago clubs he found that by going back to the less uptown style blues he could continue making a reasonable living performing and touring in concert at home and abroad. Nothing wrong with that.
Are you confusing Broonzy with Leadbelly ????
Good to see that Shirley is still getting good mileage out of her Lomax trip. Nothing wrong with that either.
