 W. C. Handy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
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 felt he was underpaid and felt he could make more money touring with a minstrel group and after a dispute with AAMC President Councill, he resigned his teaching position to rejoin the Mahara Minstrels to tour the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.

 W.C. Handy - Biography

 The Handy Man Can
Handy was one of the first to adapt Latin motifs into his music, inspired by a turn-of-the-century trip he made to Cuba as a member of the famous Mahara's Minstrel Men troupe.
Edwina says "It's well-known that W.C. Handy was born eight years after Emancipation to two freed slaves and that as a young child 'he heard a French horn in the breast of a robin,' and that he codified the blues and gave that music respectability.
Consider the fact that Handy's classic "St. Louis Blues" remains the most recorded song of the first half of the 2Oth Century, outdone only by the German "Silent Night." It should be noted also that Handy's "Memphis Blues," another oft-recorded standard, contains the first published jazz break in sheet music history.

 Handy Board FAQ
The Handy Board's built-in motor drivers are good for driving small DC motors rated 6 to 12 volts, but they aren't suitable for operating motors on high-end RC cars, or other big motors, which can easily draw 5, 10, 20 amperes of current, or more.
The Handy Board is more expensive than the RCX: A Handy Board costs $200 to $300 for the assembled/tested board alone, while $200 buys you a Mindstorms RCX brick, plus 2 motors, 3 sensors, and a kit of 700+ LEGO pieces.
For example, the Handy Board is quite functional without an expansion board (it has several more analog inputs and the user knob on the main board).
