[78-L] St Louis Blues?

[Taylor Bowie]

I just got a very enjoyable 12"  Columbia of Prince's Band playing  the St. 
Louis Blues...recorded in December of 1915.

I know this is a pretty early record of the tune...can anyone tell me the 
earliest recorded versions?  I have an Ernest Hare Gennett vocal of it from 
1919...there must be earlier vocal versions as well but I don't know what 
they are.


Thanks from

Taylor B
