Dallas Blues
by Hart Wand and Lloyd Garret (1912). Performed and arranged by Sue Keller,

Memphis Blues
by WC Handy (1912). Performed and arranged by Sue Keller, copyright
1999.
Features a cross-hand technique Sue picked up from Johnny Maddox. But
where Maddox does his ragtime, double-time, Sue throws in her own boogie
innovation. Many consider Memphis Blues the oldest blues because, although it
was published one month after Dallas Blues, it was based on a campain tune
Handy used in Memphis mayoral election of 1910 helping to elect the candidate
known as Mr. Crump. |

St Louis Blues
by WC Handy (1914). Performed and arranged by Sue Keller, copyright
1999.
Based on performances by Fats Waller and Johny Maddox. St Louis Blues
was the first blues to become a national hit, establishing the Blues as its own
music genre and earning WC Handy the title Father of the Blues. After 3
previous attempts, WC Handy stuck gold by integrating elements of folk blues,
ragtime,and tango. Although temporary surpassed by Feelings and
Yesterday in sales, the St Louis Blues has recently regained the
title of The Most Recorded Song in History. Thank you: Sue
Keller, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder. |

amalgam of blues and boogie, with a hint of a New Orleans flavored march. WC
Handy named the tune after a passenger train that traveled between Mississippi
and New Orleans. |

by Clarence Williams and Spencer Williams (1919). Performed and arranged by Sue

The Fives
by George W. Thomas (1922). Performed and arranged by Sue Keller, copyright
1999.
Inspired by a performance by Pete Johnson. The Fives refers to
one of the first high-speed passenger trains which ran from Chicago to San
Francisco. This song was one of the most influential pieces of all time,
igniting the barrelhouse boogie explosion that would bring on the likes of
Pinetop Smith, Meade Lux Lewis, and any number of black Chicago pianists, up to
and including present day Blues piano luminary Pinetop Perkins. |

was actually written into the music and is one of the earliest known examples
of this device. |
