On this episode of Inquiry, we talk with writer, musician, photographer, and music historian ROBERT W. HARWOOD. He has spent decades researching the many origins of one jazz-blues classic and he tells that wild story in I WENT DOWN TO ST. JAMES INFIRMARY: INVESTIGATIONS IN THE SHADOWY WORLD OF EARLY JAZZ-BLUES IN THE COMPANY OF BLIND WILLIE MCTELL, LOUIS ARMSTRONG, DON REDMAN, IRVING MILLS, CARL MOORE, AND A HOST OF OTHERS, AND WHERE DID THIS DANG SONG COME FROM ANYWAY?
