          Casey Bill Weldon (1901?–1972?)

          Casey Bill Weldon was one of the most talented, yet enigmatic, blues slide guitarists of the early twentieth century.

          Known as the “Hawaiian Guitar Wizard,” Weldon exhibited a range of material encompassing rag, hokum, and blues, though the majority of his more than 100 recorded songs are considered blues. Though he had a solid body of recordings and played with some well-known performers and bands of his day, much of his life is still shrouded in mystery.

          Casey Bill Weldon was born on February 2, 1901, in Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), according to blues legend Big Bill Broonzy; some sources list his birthdate as July 10, 1909.

          Casey Bill Weldon was married to Lizzie Douglas aka Memphis Minnie in the early to mid 20s, then they got divorced.
