In Summer 2016, my host, after I had bicycled several miles that day on my Underground Railroad Bicycle Tour, convinced me to go to an outdoor concert celebrating W. C. Handy and it was great! Such a good time with great music and everyone having a good time. I was exhausted but it it was *so* worth it.
I never got to go to the W.C. Handy events in Northwest Alabama, so it was a pleasure.
