Willie •kid. "On the Theatre Owner Boolrit.g Association 'TOBAl cir cuit, ttere were enough theatres to keep fCts working 105 weeks.

"She is the same -oweet person today she was when 1 fi * saw her .'•laying the piano in Kan», • Citv." ne said. One of the Interesting sidelights In Willie’s career concerns the time when he refused (3ount Basic a Job because someone told him the Count couldn't read music. WlUle. who organized his first band In l«2. had written to Kan- sas ClSp for two trombonists wid a piano player- The friend he had written wired bach: “I have one trombonist and a piano player. The trombonist is Ed die Durham, and the piano player Is a fellow named WilUe Basie, they call hhn Count." Willte asked some of his New York "^Ib about the musicians and was told that Durham would be an asset to bis bard because he could arrange, but that the C''int lYo^dn'f do him any good, because he couldn't read musi':. Willie said he soott dtecevered that hia "pals" in New York had lied when they •aid the Count couldn’t read music, and that they had done so because they wanted Bte soot in the band for one of their boys. A *ort time later John Hammond, the million- air swing enthusiast, got hla hands on the Count, and the Count thanks ? .■• the rhythm of 'One O’clock ump.’’ today is one of the bfwast mon^y-makers in the business. Wil lie consioles himself by saying that he did Basie a favor by not hiring him. Some of the fine musicians '^•ho nJayed In Willie's band arc. Teddy WUson. Cozy Cole. Benny Carter and the great Ben Webster. Willie went with the Whitman Sisters In 19*4 and hla first show was at the Booker T. Washington Theatre in St. Louis. Willie saya he has never wr.tten a line that he has found useful on the stage. “I JUBl get up there and start working." he said. "I try to become part of the audience. md to makr «be audience a part of me " An in dication of how successful he has hpei; viil. U.l- p..i:;v.

"Lang ston wrote tbe words and I the music.’’ “Langston Hughes, the noted poet whose writ ings and poems are an Inspiration, and myself even toured tbe coun try sometime ago as we plugged for the re-election of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt," Wlllet remarked. We learned, too. that hundreds copies have gone to public schools in every city In these United States. Colleges, universi ties and institutions have also re ceived free copies. If there is any one who desires a copy—It will be sent free upon request. And that's Just bow Important this song of freedom Is to Black America.
