Subject: RE: Blues with AAAB lyrics
That typical folk 16-bar form of blues sometimes found its way into blues sheet music, such as Euday Bowman's "Fort Worth Blues" (1915) and Paul Durst's "Lone Star Blues" (1916). But most writers of blues sheet music were content to follow the lead of W.C. Handy, and Handy liked 12-bar blues.
