Poll: Have you heard the St. Louis Blues?

I was listening to Jim Kweskin on Mountain Stage. Before his band did the song "St Louis Blues," he said that most people probably hadn't heard it before. I found that hard to believe of a musical audience. Have you heard "St Louis Blues"?

[edited by goovie, because unlike gordon, i know how to write in english :) ]

what about "huh?" as an option..

Is it, like, a specific kind of blues?
Or...?

it's a song. i always thought it was a pretty famous one, too. i'm pretty sure you'd recognize it if you heard it.

and yes, not only have i heard it, but i've played it, approximately 500 times. yay jazz band.

I thought this was going to be a forum about NHL hockey. Oh well.

Ohhh... it's a song.

*nods*

Well, then, still "huh" cuz I have no idea if I've heard it.
:)

Way to be vague gordon. ;)

hey, don't rag on gordon...it's not his fault he forgot to run his post by somebody who speaks english first. :)

no, but i think the hockey team is named after the song.

Heh.

And, just downloaded it... doesn't sound familiar to me.

So no, I haven't (err.. hadn't) heard it. :)

Nice, though.

where did you find it? i've been searching for an mp3 to post here, but i can't find any, and since i'm at work, i don't have kazaa (or any of my own cds that might actually have it...)...

Found a duke ellington version on kazaa.

nice. they had one available on amazon, but for some reason it wouldn't load for me.

Heard of it, played it. Often.� In fact, in�our band, it's one of our crowd-pleasers. During St. Louis Blues, each one of the trumpet players takes a chorus (12 bars)�and walks out into the audience.� They usually try to go to 4 different spots in the venue, then they all play together for 12 bars.� It's fun to watch the audience look around and realize that they're surrounded by trumpet players. *g* The guitarist takes a chorus or two afterwards to give 'em all time to get back to the bandstand, and in a large hall I enjoy watching them all run like maniacs to get back on stage in time.� At various times, they've stood on tables, railings and speakers and even gone up into the balcony to do their thing.�

I love Cab Calloway. Not one of my students has heard of him. I'm not surprised.

I'm a Buffalo Sabres fan myself.

OK rather than make a new forum I'll just ask it here. How many of you know "Swanee River?" I'll point out that it is a song this time.

The first thing I always think of is the Honeymooners.

Who wrote Swannee River?

Homminna Homminna Homminna Ed Norton?
