Dust My Broom

[Triple-o]

 

The sheet music  linked  isn’t exactly what I was looking for it has some blank measures. In case you are interested in the “old blues” you might browse through “The Real Blues Book” ( C instruments).  The song appears to be complete in the book.

I know this is "old blues" music, which I like.  I probably like a little more modern, electric blues better.  But I love all blues.  Kind off topic.

I think "Dust My Broom" has something to do with working in the packing houses.  I remember at some point reading about it but now I don't remember where I read it.  But, at some point, I hope I can learn what "Dust My Broom" means.

In an attempt to answer  my own question, that being the meaning of "Dust My Broom", I started a search.  An interesting fact about this song is the number of times it has been covered.  From a website titled, "Talking Guitar ★ Jas Obrecht's Music Magazine"  and an article (page) titled, "“Dust My Broom”: The Story of a Song" is this:

"The song’s been covered by countless performers – a quick search on YouTube turns up versions by Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, The Yardbirds, Hound Dog Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Johnny Winter, Canned Heat, Cassandra Wilson, Ike and Tina Turner, Taj Mahal, Freddie King, Junior Brown and Warren Haynes, R.L. Burnside, Duwayne Burnside, ZZ Top, Todd Rundgren, and the list goes on. Along the way, the song’s been adapted to piano, accordion, acoustic guitar, and, most of all, electric guitar." 

Keep in mind, all those above, are YouTube covers! I wonder how many covers before YouTube even existed.
