	Mostly because his material was blues.  There wasn't a big market for
it at that time.  R&B was the big player.  Blues was reintroduced to the
US from England a bit later.  You guys had Big Bill Broonzy and a bunch
of other blues players floating around over there getting big audiences.

	On a side note sort of related to England's appreciation of a form of
music that was developed in the US.  I've played in a number of places
outside the US - Monaco, Marseille, Pisa, Panama, ... - and I've noticed
that non-US audiences, for the most part, are much more appreciative and
attentive than US audiences.  We (and I use that term loosely) seem to
be more interested in 1) is this the latest cool thing, 2) looks, 3)
getting lucky, 4) getting hammered, 5) did I mention looks?  The least
important factor seems to be the music.  Don't know why that is but it
annoys the hell out of me.
