Jerky is made from lean cuts of beef that are cooked at low heat for a long time, so very little fat makes it into the end product. On the other hand, meat sticks, encased like sausage, have 8 to 13 grams of fat, including 3 to 5 grams of saturated fat. The sticks also have about twice the calories of the jerkies.
History - William Christopher Handy (1873-1958) Father of the Blues. William Christopher (known as âW.C.â) Handy, known to the world as the Father of the Blues, was born in Florence, Alabama on November 16, 1873. Handy was exposed to music in the Great St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church where his father and his grandfather served as pastors.
Chicago's blues style was not only faster and more turbulent than the Southern styles: it also adopted the horns and the electric guitar. Eventually, a new term was coined for this aggressive kind of blues music: rhythm'n'blues. Its birth date is disputed. In 1946 Muddy Waters cut the first records of Chicago's electric blues. In 1947 Billboard's writer Jerry Wexler coined the term rhythm and blues for Chicago's electric blues. In 1949 the Billboard chart for race records was renamed rhythm and blues. The first major rhythm'n'blues festival was held in Los Angeles in 1950 (the Blues & Rhythm Jubilee), as important as the Carnegie Hall concert of 1938 that launched boogie woogie nationwide.
