GUEST,Joseph Scott	12-bar blues on record before 1921 (32)	RE: 12-bar blues on record before 1921	07 May 16
These two are notable for using, despite the pro minstrel singing style, idiomatic blues lyrics that were around in folk blues tradition: "Nigger Blues" George O'Connor 7/16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrgEZN1hj6w "Dallas Blues" Marie Cahill 1/17 http://www.loc.gov/jukebox/recordings/detail/id/4660/ This is interesting because it's blues guitar: "Palakiko Blues" Helen Louise and Frank Ferera 1/17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfMbIBajMyU Helen Louise died in 1919. Some more early recordings of blues guitar: "Chain Gang Blues" Sam Moore 7/21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aja76WQsU8c "Teasing The Frets" Nick Lucas 7/22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMQ_Cu4S7ik
