This mp3 was hard to find...

Also, it's the original Memphis Blues, Handy's first popular success!
Recorded by Victor Military Band, July 15, 1914.

Hope you all enjoy!

A bit of info:

In 1909 Handy and his band moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where they started playing at clubs on Beale Street. The genesis of his "Memphis Blues" was as a campaign tune written for Edward Crump, a successful Memphis mayoral candidate in 1909. Handy later rewrote the tune and changed its name from "Mr. Crump" to "Memphis Blues."
