Crazy Blues was recorded on 10 August 1920 by Mamie Smith, I am the friend Alison talks about in her original request. Crazy Blues was written by Perry Bradford supposedly as Nervous Blues in 1915 and was preceeded by Mamma and Pappa Blues apparently a well known tune that Crazy Blues may have been based upon, I have the music but I need the lyrics, the lyrics are really hard to get off the CD. The first bit is okay but the second section is so hard to understand even after cleaning up using a audio manipulation project.
