GUEST,Joseph Scott	12-bar 'Blues' 1908-1914 (5)	12-bar 'Blues' 1908-1914	26 Mar 17
These may be the only tunes with "Blues" in the title as copyrighted or published during 1908-1914 that include the 12-bar blues progression: "1913 Medley Blues" Valentine "Baby Seals Blues" Seals "Colorado Blues" Bowman "Dallas Blues" Wand "Florida Blues" Phillips "I Got The Blues" Maggio "Jogo Blues" Handy "Kansas City Blues" Bowman "Memphis Blues" Handy and Norton "Negro Blues" White "Original Blues" Barron "St. Louis Blues" Handy Only two of the above have AAB lyrics, "Negro Blues" and "St. Louis Blues." There are also AAB lyrics in the "Railroad Blues" that Will Thomas quoted in a 1912 article (without providing music). I don't think I've ever seen or heard "I've Got The Weary Blues And Don't Know What To Do" by Johnnie Anderson and Jesse Smith, 1914.
