Kate McTell
Kate McTell (born Ruthy Kate Williams on August 22, 1911 in Savannah, Georgia, United States, died Kate Seabrooks, October 3, 1991 in Georgia),〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20050524133534/http://zdjecia.musiq.pl/Kate_McTell_BBTNVW.html )〕 was an American blues musician and nurse from Jefferson County, Georgia. She is known primarily as the former wife of fellow blues musician, Blind Willie McTell, whom she accompanied vocally on several recordings. She sometimes appeared as Ruby Glaze, although there is some uncertainty as to whether McTell and Glaze were the same person, despite the fact that McTell herself claimed to be Glaze.
==Marriage to Blind Willie McTell==
Ruthy (later changed to Ruth) Kate Williams (also sometimes billed as Ruby Glaze) was singing for a high school ceremony in Augusta, Georgia in 1933 when she was noticed by McTell, who regularly performed in the area.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20070819123220/http://www.learnlink.emory.edu/~libmlm/williemctell.html )〕 In an interview conducted by musicologist David Evans and his family, McTell claimed that she and Willie met during a Christmas concert at her school in 1931.〔Gray. 2007. page 230.〕 She went on to explain that Willie invited her to record with him, that they did so in Atlanta over the course of a week, and that she then returned to Augusta to continue schooling at Paine College. According to Gray, that week of recording would have been in February 1932.〔 The McTells were married on January 11, 1934. For the next six years she often accompanied Willie on stage, singing or dancing, in places that included Chicago and Atlanta, and in the company of artists such as Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith.〔 The two were invited to record for Decca Records by executive Mayo Williams in 1935 but these sessions had extremely limited releases. In late June 1936, they recorded 12 blues songs with Piano Red for Vocalion Records.
In 1939, she obtained a nursing certificate from Grady Hospital in Atlanta, and from 1942 until 1971 she was an army nurse at Fort Gordon hospital, near Augusta.〔 As Willie lived in Atlanta for his career, the two rarely saw each other and drifted apart.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20110929080249/http://tweedsblues.net/fieldhollars/read.php?f=2&i=38684&t=38684 )〕 Much of what is known now about her husband comes from the interview she gave with the Evans family, which was published in Blues Unlimited magazine in 1977.〔
