Until you’re a musical aficionado, chances are you’ll not know the title W.C. Useful, however you in all probability have heard his music. He’s the soundtrack of the Nineteen Twenties in lots of respects and infrequently heard as background tunes in interval motion pictures. His music was a mixing of previous people music, advanced rhythms, and blues, creating a wholly new musical type and one that’s completely American.
William Christopher Useful, or W.C. for brief, was born in 1873 in Alabama. His father was a pastor of a small church in a small city who believed that musical devices have been instruments of the satan. So how did a boy in a family the place music was actively discouraged grow to be such a effectively liked and influential composer of music? If you end up born with a ardour for music, there simply isn’t an possibility. Music is a part of your soul.
“Life is sort of a trumpet – in case you don’t put something into it,
you don’t get something out of it.”
-W.C. Useful
