Meade "Lux" Lewis - Honky Tonk Train Blues (origin

Original 1927 recording of the Honky Tonk Train Blues by Meade "Lux" Lewis. This particular recording was ripped from an LP "Boogiewoogie 1929-1947" on the Murray Hill label, copied from a Columbia 78 (#37336) which was itself copied from the Paramount release. Sorry about the audio quality, I did the best I could with what I had. Note the misspelling of the artist's name.

I had this recording back in the 1950's and seem to remember that it was annotated as a musical train trip, with each section given a name that represented part of the journey. The part that rang a bell (then) was titled "Crossing the Trestle", which I assumed to be a trestle bridge. Listening again, I think it was from 2.07 to 2.30. Any thoughts out there?

this is the version that turned John Hammond on to jazz

Always interesting to hear this version but it has the elements of the later versions he made more consistently. The first version has a bit 20's style thrown in there in the first half of the recording. The second half he kind of lets go and its more the classic he played consistently.
