Sunday, March 16, 2008 at the Scott Joplin House in St. Louis, Missouri. This was recorded as part of the Sue Keller seminar presentation on "Women and the Blues". The piece is a composition by WC Handy titled, St Louis Blues. The presentation covered the following early blues women: Mamie Smith, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Lucille Hegamin, Ida Cox, Alberta Hunter and their influences on Ella May Morse, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Patsy Cline, Marcia Ball, and Aretha Franklin.

The piano is a 7-foot Boston Grand model 218.
