Hambone Willie Newbern
William "Hambone Willie" Newbern (probably 1901 – April 15, 1965) was an American guitar-playing country blues musician. Life and career Few details are known of his life. He is believed to have been born in Haywood County, Tennessee, close to Brownsville along Tennessee State Route 19. He was reported to have played with Yank Rachell and Sleepy John Estes (from whom most of our knowledge of Hambone was gained) in the 1920s and 1930s. He recorded one of the earliest known versions of the blues standard "Rollin' and Tumblin'", which was waxed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929. He only recorded six tracks in total, which also included, "She Could Toodle-Oo" and "Hambone Willie's Dreamy-Eyed Woman's Blues."

Produced by two generations of the Alley family, the one-panel cartoon originated with the Memphis, Tennessee, newspaper ''The Commercial Appeal'', where it ran on the front page.

Publication history ''Hambone's Meditations'' was created by J.P. Alley, the first editorial cartoonist of ''The Commercial Appeal''. The character of Hambone was inspired by Alley's encounter with a philosophical former slave, Tom Hunley of Greenwood, Mississippi. Hunley told a Works Progress Administration interviewer how he met J. P. Alley: The strip and character were popular enough that Hambone's image was used on a variety of products, including sweets and cigars, in the 1920s and ...
