W. C. Handy Encounters the Blues — Tutwiler
evidence
Handy, waiting at Tutwiler station circa 1903, heard a man play slide guitar with a knife and sing "Goin' where the Southern cross' the Dog"; he led an orchestra in Clarksdale from 1903 to 1905 and recounted the encounter in his 1941 autobiography Father of the Blues. V55 verification basis: retrieved in search summary attributed to the Blues Trail marker text; the marker page was not opened, and the quoted autobiography passage is reproduced at second hand.
A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
