··Home For Wayward Watches"12th Street Rag" being played by its composer, Euday Bowman. "12th Street Rag" begins at 2:21.
My dad had this same 1948 recording (same blue label with ivy leaf) of the tune when I was a kid, learning a basic version on the accordion. I embellished it to mimic the Bowman performance and still play it that way today. Later I stepped on the record, left on my bedroom floor, and broke it, much to my chagrin.
Bowman was old and ill by the time he made this recording in Fort Worth, Texas. It was said that he made it to help with his sister's expenses and his upkeep while he lived at her house. My dad bought a copy of the record at that time.

··Home For Wayward WatchesThanks Walrus!
Good stuff. That’s a pre-World War II instrument he’s playing. Has 1920s-1930s styling characteristics and that great old timey reedy tuning.
