Jim Sweney & the Jumpshotz

Jim Sweney is and will always be the "darling of Tulsa music". He is SO talented and in the 49 years that I've known Jim, I've often thought it a pity that he wasn't brought to greater esteem & recognized for his beautiful talent. The incredible texture of his voice is unforgettable. Of course very few Tulsan's who know anything about Tulsa's fertile musical history, knows Jim Sweney. Jim can sing any song but he really shines when he sings Joe Cocker and too many other songs to mention. I really wish I'd had the money to buy one of his albums from back in the day. And fun memories of Jim performing at the once historic Mystery Theater ? sorry I've forgotten name of bar, it was on Boston Ave. 1970's. He is one of the sweetest souls I've ever known, and one of the best huggers. When my old roomate & I moved from Tulsa to Dallas, in which Jim & his band attended our going away party in 1974, we moved back to Tulsa in 1992, and went to hear him at the Blue Rose I was surprised that he recognized me right away. His fabulous smile, wonderful voice & precious disposition can make anybody's world oh so much better! Tulsa is my "beloved Tulsa" but even more beloved for having this brilliant talent as one of our own. We love you Jimmy....thanks for the wonderful memories! Your friend......Carol Reeder

Hart Wand

**Hart Wand** was an early fiddler and bandleader from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is chiefly noted for publishing the "Dallas Blues" in March 1912 (copyrighted in September). "Dallas Blues" was an early example of published twelve-bar blues song.

## 1889-1920: Oklahoma & "Dallas Blues"

Little is known about Wand. Wand was an 89er, coming with his parents, a brother, and two sisters from Kansas at age two. His father John, a successful druggist in Topeka, immediately after the land run set up a tent drugstore in what would become Oklahoma City.

As Hart grew older, he worked in the drugstore and, when customers were few, he’d retire to the storeroom and practice his violin. An early-day multitasker, he led a small dance band and worked on creating new tunes that he could teach the other band members.

After his father's death in 1909, Hart Wand took control of the Wand & Son manufacturing plant in Oklahoma City, and kept up his musical interests.

One day, Hart was in the storeroom practicing a piece influenced by various sorts of music he had heard in central Oklahoma. Another of his father’s employees was in the storeroom, and, at the conclusion of the piece, he remarked, “That gives me the blues to go back to Dallas.” Hart Wand had a title for his tune.

Annabelle Robbins, the pianist in Wand’s band, arranged the piece, and “Dallas Blues” was published in Oklahoma City in 1912. The sheet music sold out that first printing within a week. It was reprinted at least twice more by the end of the year.

Soon, it was being played by bands up and down the Mississippi River and thence to New Orleans, Chicago and New York. It has been called the first true blues tune ever published.

The song, although written in standard blues tempo, is often performed in a ragtime or Dixieland style. It was originally published as an instrumental. In 1918, Lloyd Garrett added lyrics to express the singer's longing for Dallas.

No date is found for the actual composition of "Dallas Blues". Samuel Charters, who interviewed Wand for his book *The Country Blues* (1959), states that Wand took the tune to a piano-playing friend, Annabelle Robbins, who arranged the music for him. Charters added that the title came from one of Wand's father's workmen. Since Wand's father died in 1909, it is speculated that the actual composition must have predated that.

In any case, within weeks of its publication it was heard the length of the Mississippi River, and its influence on all the blues music that followed is well documented.

## 1919-1960: New Orleans

Wand moved his business to Chicago sometime before 1920, and by 1920 had settled in New Orleans. Wand passed away in 1960 in New Orleans.
