Blues and Ragtime Hits From The 'Good Old Days'
1916 The Weary Blues
I Got The Blues, But I'm Too Darn Mean To Cry
Great, Fuzzy picture of Mary Jane Woodyatt on cover. When I research the name, H, Alf Kelly, I find information on Artie Matthews, a noted African-American composer and ragtime artist. I only Half Kelly believe it myself. Now, Wikipedia, the source of all knowledge, please support it, saysthat 'Weary Blues' is more Ragtime than Blues. it says that this ...song is known as "Shake it and Break It"especially in NOLA.
Condition is Poor. I wish it was better. This song sheet is early and fairly simple yet provocative.Noticeable paper loss on the top line of the title, mol 1 1/2 in, Spine is 75% gone, signature on the cover The paper is grandmothered, soft and wrinkly. Tears on the spineThe center sheet is the worst. Despite the wear, this is not brittle and can be saved.
