William Wolf Whiskey Where To Buy

While it has nothing to do with the whiskey liqueur in the bottle, I want to take a moment to point out that the cartoon, obviously based on one of the few photographs of the legendary Robert Johnson, is historically problematic if the wolf is meant to portray a black bluesman in the tradition of Johnson or Charley Patton. Black blues players largely eschewed the banjo because of its prominence in minstrel shows in the late 19th and early 20th centuries -- it was an instrument played mainly by clowns in blackface. Patton even said he didn't play the banjo \"because [white people] used it to make fun of me.\" The banjo was seen as a joke instrument employed primarily as a \"happy\" novelty by string bands to entertain white and black audiences until Pete Seeger began to rehabilitate it. 781b155fdc
