Hi, What do you think the first blues songs were? Please include a date and source if possible. They can be 8 bar (AB), 12 bar (AAB) or 16 bar (AAAB) I'll include 3 of mine: Careless love AAAB; (WC Handy 1888) circa 1880 Joe Turner (Joe Turner Blues) AAB (WC Handy 1895) circa 1885 Alabama Bound AABA; or AAB (as Elder Green) Early 1900 pub circa 1905 This info is from memory so... Do you agree? TY Richie
