"Dallas Blues", played by Karen J

Well, here is my blues number requested by Urban. This is one of the first published blues with blues in the title. It was published in 1912 and the composer was Hart Wand.

This is the first blues I have ever played, and I am still trying to get over the camera issues...LOL...since I can play by reading music, and by ear, I sometimes just get lost between both queings and lose concentration as you will note. I am hoping that if I just keep trying I will get over this freeze in synapses!!

Thanks for listening, and comments are welcome.

this is one of the songs featured in a book i ordered called "Blues Fiddling Classics"

...so, i decided to check out these tunes on youtube. i like the way you play; keep up the good work. maybe someday you'll hear my version of this song played on fiddle... "The important thing is to never stop playing..." I don't know who said that.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Karen,

I mean white man. Blank means white (Dutch.

"Thanks Karen! I read, as blues musician and passioner, in the book of Samual B. Charters about this first published blues. You, known Hart Wand was a blank man?"

What do you mean by Blank man? Do you mean to say Black man? Because if so, Hart Wand was a White man, a German-American from Oklahoma. Look him up on wikipedia they have his photo. Hart Wand's Dallas Blues was the very first published Blues composition and song with Blues in the title.

Thanks Karen! I read, as blues musician and passioner, in the book of Samual B. Charters about this first published blues. You, known Hart Wand was a blank man? I heard the piece, played by you, for the first time. Nice laid-back interpretation.
