But anyway, my point is to question what significance should be assigned to where the music is derived from when assigning credit to a

culture. The very thing you point to in fact makes a different case: a

simple three chord progression is not (and cannot be) the significant

differentiating factor that makes the blues what it is in distinction

from southern white folk music.

^^^^ CB: The rhythm is different , too. Also, dancing and music are closely linked , and Black dancing is different than white dancing.
