Mamie Smith was the first recorded female blues singer back in 1920. Her recording of "Crazy Blues" was such a hit that record companies couldn't sign up lady blues singers fast enough. "Wang Wang Blues" is the flip-side of "Get Hot" and was recorded Sept. 5 1921.

@Bumblebee38 How do you know it's white? And does a note worry who plays it?

Interestingly, not really a blues but a 32-bar popular type tune.

Your video presentation looks very good. It takes a bit to get the recording technique done but keep working on it.
