Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. An uncommon Handy Brothers Music Co. publication issued late in the career of W. C. Handy (18731958). The song is credited to Lazarus A. Aaronson, a little-documented composer whose work here was published in homage to Handy. The present copy bears Handy's contemporary inscription: "To Miss Sybil Gregory W. C. Handy 6-16-1951."

Handy on the front cover to Miss Sybil Gregory, dated June 16, 1951, the year of publication.…
