Swing is definitely on the way out and the cats and- the jitterbugs may as well recognize that th^ swing craze is no more stetble than styles in women's hats. At least that is the opinion of W. C. Handy, "daddy of the blues" who admits his interest today is mainly in spirituals-?particularly the "hnppy?spiritual?which he says is fast disappearing. Handy said he was extremely annoyed at first when he found the cats making so free with his St.. Louis Blues that he could hard ly " recognize the melody. "It reminds me of my own experience," he ^aid. "I wrote a piec cealled 'Yellow Dog Rag' ano ?n-l n>ndp a rocofding. It earned only $200 the first year. Ragtime was. out, blues were in. "So r kept the tune and -chang-nd?the?name to 'Yellow Dog Blues'. The song's earnings jumped to $25,000. I suppose I'll have to call it "Yellow Dog Swin' now and climb on the swing-wagon." flottirnr noHr.no fho /liorinmilol. ed composed declared, "Swing isn't a definite! form of muaic. merely the evolution of -a proven tune. It's a fad that will have no permanent effect on American music." SpeaWing of the sporituals, Handy said, "It makes me sad when I hear the best of them made - to cottfcnin tu a stmYdftFti they were never intended for. They really are the folk songs of my race, of Africa. In my youth at camp meetings near Florence, Ala. where I was born, we used to sing happy spirituals, Ting them our ^wir way and never care if a white :.man heard. ?r "Now we have one eye trained on the while man who will buy and market them. We learned.be likes sad spirituals, so that's all you - hear. I hope to live long enough to see a real, revival nf genume African spirituals."
