Brian Hoskin | Lyr Req: Snakey Blues/Memphis Blues - W.C. Handy (8) | RE: Lyr Req: Snakey Blues/Memphis Blues - W.C. Handy | 18 Oct 04 |
In Handy's autobiography, 'Father of the Blues', he writes that Memphis Blues was originally entitled 'Mister Crump'. This was a campaign tune (words added later) for the mayoral election campaign of E.H. Crump (1909). There's no mention of 'Snakey Blues'. |
