--seed	origins of the blues? (5)	origins of the blues?	28 Jan 99
How far back--historically and geographically--do the roots of the blues, particularly the 12 bar rhythmic, harmonic, and poetic structures go? That is, did they originate within the last century among African-Americans, or are there traces among slave songs--or even earlier, in music from Africa? Does anyone know a good source of information on this subject? --seed
