I got the blues . . . . . . . .

A favourite, the How Long Blues or just merely 'How Long' and a classic too, by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. This song, recorded on June 19, 1928 in Indianapolis, appears to be the first one Carr and Blackwell ever recorded together.

Beautiful stuff . . . . . . . How long has that old evening train been gone?
