It sure soundsfamiliar. And if it’s “traditional,” how come thisis the only recording of it (according to Lorddiscography).Aha, I thought I recognized the tune, and DaveRobinson confirms that it’s “Joe Avery’sPiece,” already in this index by “traditional.”Sedalia Joys (Glenn Jenks–PeterLundberg–Wally Rose–Edward Berlin)Glenn Jenks 1179Each contributed a strain, in the order listed,says Jenks.See See Rider Blues (Ma Rainey–Lena Arrant)New Yankee Rhythm Kings 1015South Frisco JB 1035Steve Lane’s Southern Stompers 1040Watergate Seven Plus One 1165Frisco Syncopators 1245(See notes at Jelly Bean Blues as well)Rec.

Dec. 24, 1924; E 603948; Chicagomusic pub. co., Chicago.Same story as Jelly Bean: Paramount 12238credits both, looks like spelling is Arant, title isSee See Rider Blues. Reissue of UHCA onCommodore credits Rainey-Arant, also SeeSee Rider Blues. LC SONIC has UHCA 85(Rainey-Arant), Ampersand R 101 (no credits),And it’s the same story in both cases: LenaArrant with 2 r’s copyrighted the song. Raineyrecorded it and either made changeswarranting her inclusion as composer or justinsisted on a cut for recording it (notuncommon). On the record label, Lena’sname was misspelled. And along the way,Arrant’s title was changed to “See See RiderBlues,” which is what’s on all the labels—Sowhy do most bands (41 of my 49 recordings ofthe song) leave the “Blues” off the title?Presumably because it’s not in the lyrics.Seeking Blues (Leatha McAllister)Le Petit Jazzband de Mr Morel 1344CD credited Ma Rainey.Rec.
