Question

The speaker in "The Weary Blues" is most likely
an audience member at a blues show.
a band member for a blues singer.
a contemporary blues critic.
a historian studying blues musicians.

Answer 1

An audience member at a blues show.

Justification: the poem’s first-person narrator describes watching and listening to the pianist/singer on Lenox Avenue ("I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan..."), which fits an onlooker’s perspective rather than a band member, critic, or historian.
