Dallas Blues by Hart Wand and Lloyd Garret (1912). Performed and arranged by Sue Keller, copyright 1999.
Loosely based on performances by Fats Waller, Pinetop Smith, and Benny Goodman. Dallas Blues is regarded as the first Blues ever published.

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.

Ole' Miss Blues by WC Handy (1916). Arranged and performed by Sue Keller, copyright 2001.

Royal Garden Blues by Clarence Williams and Spencer Williams (1919). Performed and arranged by Sue Keller, copyright 1999.

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.
