Incidentally, "Weary Blues" was written in 1915 by Artie Matthews; Scott Joplin's publisher John Stark offered prize money to any of his staff composers who could come up with something to rival W. C. Handy's monster hit "St. Louis Blues." This tune won and I can see why, particularly from this rendition.
Immaculate! One of my favourite 78's when I had a collection!
