[Dixielandjazz] Performance "Order" of St. Louis Blues

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

And via a similar prompt from Ron L, I have just learned via Red Hot Jazz  
Archives that when Handy first recorded it in 1922, he began with the tango  
section!

Both  Louis Armstrong recordings of St. Louis Blues from the early '30s (the
OKeh  from '32? and the Victor from '33) start with the tango section, iirc.
The  Victor does for sure.
