Handy wrote in his 1941 autobiography "Father of the Blues," that he was born in the log cabin built by his grandfather William Wise Handy, who became a African Methodist Episcopal minister after Emancipation.
Handy was a deeply religious man, whose influences in his musical style were found in the church music he sang and played as a youth, and in the sounds of nature in his hometown, Florence, Alabama.
Para Handy is the ne'er-do-well skipper of the ''Vital Spark'', a Clyde puffer (steamboat) of the sort that delivered goods from Glasgow to the Western Isles in the early 20th century.

 "The Tales of Para Handy" (1994)
Broadcast between 1994 and 1995, with 6 episodes one year and 3 episode the next, "The Tales of Para Handy" was the third version to be televised of Neil Munro's hugely popular (in Scotland, at least) tales, originally written as newspaper columns in the Glasgow Herald between 1905 and the early 1930s.
Unlike these two contemporary shows, "Tales of Para Handy" takes place in the early 1930s (possibly 1934-5, just after the final stories were published) and makes a decent job of portraying the Scottish west coast at the time.
The classic tales of the Glasgow "puffer" (steam vessels similar to barges, that ran goods and trade all over the West Coast between about 1860 and 1960) were sometimes adapted from the original Munro stories, and sometimes written from scratch (usually by Bob Black, writer of "Scotch and Wry" and "City Lights").

One hundred years later and the puffer boat’s famous crew - skipper Captain Peter MacFarlane (aka Para Handy), engineer Dan MacPhail, Dougie the Mate, and The Tar (later replaced by his cousin Sunny Jim) – continue to captivate generations of fans with their hilarious antics.
Ironically, as this documentary highlights, although Para Handy continues to be the most enduringly popular of all Neil Munro’s writings, the author himself dismissed the stories as having little merit.
Furthermore, although Glasgow launched the Para Handy tales, their origins were not in the hustle and bustle of the city but the tranquillity of Inveraray, Loch Fyne.

Among them was a series devoted to a fictional puffer, the SS Vital Spark, and its fictional crew: the boat's master and owner, Peter Macfarlane or Para Handy (Peter, son of Sandy), the glum engineer, Macphail, the mate, Dougie, the cook-deckhand, variously the Tar and Sunny Jim.
Adam has sex with Ella (and also her sister); a murder case pushes the story forward; it is sparely and sometimes beautifully written; it reeks of social and human disintegration and massive, modern unhappiness.
To compare it with Para Handy (where the largest problem is Dougie's teetotal wife) is in some way to see the start and finish of Scotland's last century.
